What do you mean "we," Ryan?
"We," as in us as individuals?
Mostly this sense. It is the dire "we". The last resort "we". The dying "we".
"We," as in our government, which is by the people and for the people?
I don't WANT this to be the "we" that I refer to, but if it is the only extension of our general society that can/will do it, then it must be done in this way
I believe that "we" as individuals should consider to donate to any genuine charities, including any that would help solve malnutrition. The only catch is that my money shall not land in the hands of a corrupt, brute-run government.
This is a good idea.
I believe that "we" as taxpayers - controllers of the federal government - should stop with that kind of aid...At least temporarily. It is ineffective, forced, and worst of all, polluted.
I believe in this too.
We have the biggest debt in the history of humanity...We can (and should) be altruistic, but we have to be mindful of our obligations before our luxuries.
Although tell that to 90% of the United States...What with all these i-Pods, Blackberries, and FY 2009
vehicles, lol.
Bingo. Want to blow your mind? Look up the international combined revenue for perfume and compare it to the estimations of the amount of money needed to get Africa modernized.
