i just read the www.one.org post. i didnt actually go to the site, i just read what you responded with. i agree with everything you say mostly. we as a country are in economic distress, but all these crackwhores and homeless people you speak of all have a chance. if you have legs, you can do anything, you can get a job and you can work towards a better life than anyone in africa or india could ever have. america is a paradise compared to those places, the people here who arent doing well, arent doing well because they dont want to. even living on the streets here is paradise compared to other countries. i do not think the govt should be in another country like they are trying to change their ways, but i do think that people should be helping other countries, and considering them before thinking that this country has it so bad. in africa all it takes is $200 to send a man to school to become a doctor, then he can help his fellow africans, and so on. build them a new town, a town they would have built if they had the money. do you understand what im getting at? cause i dunno if im making sense, im sure i left out a lot of thoughts i just have so many. write back id like to conversate with you.

Inflation in Africa is horribly low though - 50 Billion dollars is already being sent out there. 50 billion is a heaping pile of money out there.
The crackwhores and homeless people often have no chance, there are men running from their homes because they can no longer provide for their family, there are families moving to other cities, states, continents, just because theres no work here, our work is being sent out to the foreign countries because of some bullshit outsourcing and now the rest of our money is being sent out to the same countries. America is selling out these countries before they even begin, Iraq is going to be populated with Walmarts and McDonalds. Just so the people there with a "renewed sense of freedom" can jockey the goddamn registers that are going to keep them low and poverty stricken.
Sure, a lot of the people in Africa have no chance to even begin, but our government is claiming to have such problems keeping the things going here. Social Security - nearly gone. The private accounts may work, but its going to take a LONG time to implement the system, and its basically just removing all the government involvement. Two or Three generations of people are going to be screwed, and have to live in poverty because we don't have the kind of funds to keep the systems going. Yet our country has the money to send out to aid people that have no alleigance to us whatsoever.
I could care less if we send money out to africa, I could care less if we rebuild Iraq. Just as long as our government starts to actually show interest in our problems, and keep our country in a stable condition, and as long as that keeps vast priority to keeping other countries in stable condition.
