property and starvation

it has always bugged me that people are starving in the world. I learned that fact when I was nine and have never been able to get past it. Other people get used to it, and they go on and concentrate on careers and fun and relationships and that other stuff. But I never had that skill. I could never get used to it, could never put the fact to one side - it was always there in my head. Somehow, nothing else seemed to be a higher priority. People are starving to death.

So please forgive me if I go on about politics and economics and all that boring stuff.

The good news is that the solution is simple. It's called justice. Or in other words, property. I use the world "property" in the strict scientific or programming sense:

"A characteristic trait or peculiarity, especially one serving to define or
describe its possessor. A characteristic attribute possessed by all
members of a class."

One person has the property of making others happy. Another person has the property of causing chaos. Another has the property that they can paint pictures. Another has the property that they eat a lot. And so on and so on. You measure a property by seeing what things are like with a person or action, then seeing what things are like without the person or action. the difference is a property of that person. Another word might be causality. Or responsibility.

Why does this matter? What does it have to do with starvation? Well, this (the scientific or programming definition of property) is the basis for a fair and just society. It naturally leads to the concept of land rent. This in turn leads to the idea that we can choose our own governments, as long as we pay the market price. It's all described at www.AnswersAnswers.com

The point is, the answer is simple and intuitive. Start from property (or start from nothing and derive property from first principles) and everything else falls into place. As I hope to show through examples from the news.
