You can't have your cake and a brutal dictatorship, too by grouchobeer on 01-19-2006
I'm collecting to buy food for the hungry in Ethiopia. How much can I put you down for?
Here's a fun fact... Did you know that in all of history, there has neveer been a famine in a country that has had a democracy and a free press?
Um... no...
It's not enough to have one or the other. You have to have both. So even if the food reaches its intended recipients-- highly doubtful at best-- you're not going to end hunger unless you change the political system. Otherwise, you're just putting bandaids on brain tumors.
Um... does this mean you won't be giving today?
I'll give you a bandaid. I'm saving up for the famine that's coming here in a couple years.
