We are talking about human beings. The problem isn't: world hunger. The problem is a 6 year old kid who just doesn't want to feel hungry today. Every one of us commenting here can do something about this, right now. Waiting until everything is "easier to solve" sounds more like an excuse than anything else. Besides, every little bit helps the grander problem that you allude to so how could it not be helpful on every level? We can make excuses all day about why the problem exists: "Oh man, wait until I can vote again, then the gov't will be fixed and the big problems can be solved." "Once big banks and corruption are under control, then we can start feeding people and offering more services." These kinds of attitudes that allow our complacency as Americans (or elsewhere for that matter) aren't intelligent as being part of solving some greater problem at the expense of others. These attitudes are part of the problem. We owe it to ourselves and humanity to get past our own brains, see a problem in front of us, and do something about it.
