[FRIAM] a real threat

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

It is disheartening to know that the problems of an starving, unhealthy and
futureless humanity can only be solved sending troops. It is not a problem
of each country in particular it is about the world's Status Quo.  Each day
I see more and more signs of a kind of  dystopian world, probably similar
to that predicted by the old cyberpunk science fiction and that  is already
here with low probability to way back
