When we talk of a cannibal planet, we are speaking of how those with power and money use it to consume the lives of those less fortunate. This is happening at an ever increasing pace. The gap between rich and poor is not just one of means, but of life itself. Think I'm some anarchist extremist? Well, you might be right...but then again Havard Magazine just summarized a few studies that back me up:
Disparities in health tend to fall along income lines everywhere: the poor generally get sicker and die sooner than the rich. But in the United States, the gap between the rich and the poor is far wider than in most other developed democracies, and it is getting wider.
It goes on to show that societies that tax the rich more heavily and basically share the wealth more evenly have higher life expectancy across the board.
So, the extreme rich in our country are actually sucking the life out of the rest of us. Maybe Vampire Planet is more fitting?
Maybe we need a vampire hunter?
If you are an anime fan, this movie "Blood: The Last Vampire" is an absolute must have.
