Cow patties! In our countries we don't suffer plagues of locusts,
marching army ants, malaria, and the various wild varmin that will bite
you on the butt while you sleep. In contrast we have the best medical
and social assistance systems available anywhere in the world. Let's not
even get into droughts and civil wars by mercenary sponsered by mining
companies after the nation's diamonds, gold, or oil, which will burn
crops and anything standing just for the fun of it. Then there is the
politics of how economies with 90% uneployment rates come about from the
exploitation by our countries. You don't have to be a bleeding heart
liberal to understand crap like that, man, you are rock hard ignorant!

In any case, this topic is far from the purpose of our present forum...
