I better be, it took one and a half ****ing hours to write. I could
have written a decent sized paper for school and gotten an A on it with
the time and effort I put in my last post. I just hope mullah sees it,
I really do want a debate now.
Oh, yeah! White man can't jump!

Drought Comes Again to East Africa

BISSEL, Kenya -- Babies in East Africa are starving again.
They lie in battered beds, hooked up to IV drips, their skeletal mothers beside them.
Their cries are barely audible for now, but their woes won't end when they have
gained weight. All of their families' wealth _ their cattle and goats _ are dead.
When drought comes, the very young and the very old are the first to suffer.
But according to the latest U.N. figures, they are only the most visible of 11.5 million
East Africans who don't have enough to eat.
Hunger strikes Africa for reasons as diverse as its 53 countries _ drought,
locusts, government policies that wreck the agricultural economy.
In East Africa, which includes Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Tanzania
and Uganda, drought arrives every few years, usually predicted months in advance.
Drought does not have to cause hunger, but inevitably it does.
Breaking the cycle wouldn't take much: just the vision and enough money
to provide clean water, distribute electricity and build some roads.

Cattle are grazing the suburbs again.
Says the moo-cow of the NOW!
I didn't even understand the point of that post. Is portraying Africa's
declining condition an argument against accepting different races? I'll
attempt to interperet your, and defend my, argument.
God hasn't chosen Africa to die because it's full of Black people. It's
politics and bad farming. They might know about a drought coming, but
what the hell are they supposed to do about it? Just because we KNEW
New Orleans would probably be drowned by a hurricane, that doesn't mean
everyone in New Orleans could just up and leave. Where are the Africans
going to go? Thier summer home in the Hamptons? Plus they're using
modern fertilizing "improvements" from Western agriculturalists that
are drying out the land even more, and it gets worse every year.
If America wasn't rich in fertile lands that we stole from Native
Americans, (or convinced them to leave to move to land that's about as
bad as Africa is now), then we'd be lying around starving to death,
contracting malaria and smallpox and AIDS. Everyone forgets that if we
hadn't had help from Native Americans, we would have all died within a
few decades and no one would have dominated the land through "manifest
destiny" that didn't belong to us in the first place.
And another thing, where the hell are they going to get all the labor
they need to connect all the tiny villages scattered across the desert
by roads and electricity? At least 20 MILLION people of the African
population has AIDS. Many of the people left are orphaned children who
can barely support themselves, and are forced to take care of thier
brothers and sisters, too. Africa doesn't just need money, they need
more qualified people to serve as doctors, nurses, laborers, and
messengers. The grassroots groups that are actually trying to help
people get connected and help AIDS victims dont see most of the money
America is throwing at the government because there aren't enough
people that are able to help. They can't even afford bicycles to GET to
the villages!!!
My point in mentioning Zimbabwe in the last post was only that I wanted
to pick a country full of Black people as an example of someplace
mullah would be considered a complete moron.
Oh yeah here's a link for you all who may ask for one:
