They'll probably wonder why we allowed mass starvation, deprivation, and death so that a few people could live comfortably.

You have a much more optimistic view of the future than me Tongue/

As the present ("present" to be understood in terms of a 50-100 years time lapse) is, in most respects, better than any point in the past, there are reasons to believe that the future will be in most respects better than the present.

But then again, I'm a progressive and you're a reactionary, so there's no way we will ever agree on this.

The problem is not how often they meet, but how little comes out of these meetings in terms of actual policy.
