@hammerofuglytruth The only reason we have so much wealth and prosperity is because we take advantage of 3rd world countries. Do a little research before you start spewing that bullshit.

yes if they only spend the budget to fix the problem but the Africans only line their own pockets and why must they help them self they are waiting for hand outs or waiting for an stupid American to adopt their children

i have a better plan, non-commercial and real.

it costs billions of $ per year to fly "christians" and stars to places

to do ads for things the government has already been paid for.

thanks anyway for "Green Zone" DVD (except the usual poor video quality)

CLINTON does a lot to help: Bombing Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan, and Iraq, and Pakistan, and Libya...

...not quite drinking water, but at least cluster bombs ripping kids to shreds and depleted uranium, that radioactive poison.

HYPOCRISY HORRAY!

SMOKE SCREEN - ON!

That was quite a satirical hyperbole, but be cautious, somebody might actually think you mean it, as the imbecilic nature of US backwood baboons cannot be overestimated...
