Correction, "There is not one culture touched by 'Western Civilization' that has not endured violence and torment in their histories."  'Western Civilization' has never solved the poverty problem that has been a constant blight on its history.  'Western Civilization' has developed a very uncivilized psychopathic acceptance of poverty and many other maladies of humanity. Garnering 98% of the land mass of Canada then declaring the other 2% a free ride is the logic of psychopathy.
