Aid to Africa

Why is it we need to send zillions of dollars in aid to Africa? What did they do with the money
we already sent? Think of it. If, when you were a teenager, maybe you asked your parents for $50.oo. The very next day, you went back to them and asked them for another $50.00. Wouldn't their reaction be "What did you do with the $50.00 we gave you yesterday?" (Ok, so you bought a bag of weed. If you did, you probably wouldn't be stupid enough to ask your parents for more money again so soon.)

But no, on top of the millions of dollars we've already given, we have to give more. We have to GIVE TILL IT HURTS, dammit! I am sure the majority of American conservatives would be more than happy for more money to be earmarked to alleviate poverty. After all, no-one who has children (which is most of us) or who has been a child (which is ALL of us) wants to think of starving, bone-thin children, mothers whose breasts are dry, and flies buzzing around everyone. But the fact of the matter is that the corrupt dictators ensure that no money reaches the starving people. Sorry, libs. Till the government changes, no mo' money. And by the way, you might want to think about re-legalizing DDT. (Any possible side effects sure beat dying of malaria). That means YOU, Bono, and YOU TOO, Bob Geldof.
