Most of us have seen the African starvation beg-a-thons where they take the
expensive cameras, and go take films of the starving stick figure children
in Africa. I've heard that the various tribes in Africa have been using
starvation as a genocide tool, for the last few thousand years. The evil
black dudes on Jeeps with AK-47 asre doing their best to starve the other
tribe. Bunch of blonde haird co-eds show up with thier boxes of food, and
bottles of water to just do some good. Clueless, they don't realize that
they will have to kill off the Jeep guys first, because the Jeep guys want
the stick figure kids to just finish dying, already. And now, the price of
food goes up! Zounds! It's going to be more expensive for the blonde haired
fair skinned Co-Eds to buy the boxes of food to take. So the Jeep and gun
guys can take the food away from them. And they can come home with a good
sun burn, and tell how they fed the stick figures.

We should send the American libs to Africa, to teach the Jeep and gun guys
to "just get along".

What you say is true in some areas of Africa - but even in countries
with "stable governments", starvation and food shortages - and extreme
poverty, are REALITIES.

I've been there. Even in GOOD times, the average west african spends
about 10 times as much of their resources on food compared to the
average American - and that is for barely adequate food. In east and
central africa it is no better, and in many cases worse.

You don't have warlords in jeeps terrorizing the people in Zambia,
Botswana, Malawi,Swaziland, Tanzania, Rwanda, and many other countries
in east/central Africa - nor in Burkina Faso or Ghana in West Africa -
or even in the Republic of South Africa, yet the vast majority of
people in these countries can barely afford to feed and clothe
themselves, even before the grain prices went through the roof over
the last several years.

Think of the children! The starving children, all around
the world that have less food to eat because the diversion of
crops to ethanol has caused food prices to skyrocket. Funny,
I thought the environmental libs were the ones looking out
for everyone....
