"An 18 course meal helps the discussion of global food shortages go down.." (sung to the tune of "a spoon full of sugar")

prices and supply shortages, world leaders attending the G8 summit in

Sick, eh? There is a massive disconnect that decision-makers have from the actual decisions that they make. I think we'd be a lot better off if our leaders experienced the furthest reaches of all of their decisions in person. But this concept of equality and empathy, thats just silly.
