A Simple Solution To The World Food Crisis

If it's one thing that liberals or politically correct types can't stand is a simple or obvious answers to a problem. Simple answers preempt the preferred complicated, costly ones that liberals relish.

The latest challenge is for a simple or costly answer to the world's food cost and availability crisis. United Nation reports show that Nigerians spend 73% of their income on buying food, Vietnamese spend 65%, Indonesians pay out 50% and the poor Hatians have almost no money to spend on almost no available foodstocks. One thing these underfed people have in common is they continue to breed and have multiple children. And thus they perpetuate the dismal cycle.

So what's to be done? Should the world plant more crops and build up more dependancy for irresponsible parents and then include their children in an open ended support cycle? We tried that already. It doesn't work. How about we just say "no" to more food and aid unless the dumb mokeys say "no" to more children?

Monkeys in the jungle have more sense than these people. And we become as dumb as the Nigerians etc. if we perpetuate their cycle of misery.

Microsoft's Bill Gates , African Aid & The Dependency Problem

Ask Bill Gates how best to help Africa with it's chronic malnutrirtion and sexually transmitted disease problem and he will tell you about the "Red Campaign". He pushed that campaign at Davos, Switzerland the other day. Simply the participating companies in the campaign which also includes, Apple, American Express, Dell and others donate a portion of the sales price of " Red Campaign" logo products to the Global Fund which targets Africa's social maladies.

Since the 1960's aid to Africa from outside sources is now totaled well over $700 billion. Yet, Africa's woes have only grown and Africans have become ever more dependent on outside aid. Of course Bill knows and relies on dependency from customers who make a habit of buying Microsoft's products to solve their personal computing needs. But aiding the breeding of dependent generations of Africans indefinietly is a blueprint for disaster.

Bill must learn that people who are dependent on Microsoft's computing ware at least know what question to ask of the software. It seems that many Africans still don't even wonder or ask how to stop overpopulation or the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
