My vote would be for them to go to H#$$ in their own filth. Africa is ruined, let them do whatever it is they are going to do. Either they want to survive or they don't. Survival of the fittest as far as I am concerned. Darwinism to the extreme.

The despots and their countries will disapear, and the free market countries will prosper. End of story, and the free market countries will move into the collapsed countries and then they will flourish. I say let it happen. And for us to stay the heck out of it.

Mr. Ayittey (quoted in the article)agrees with you, Aric, that no more money should be sent to Africa.

It is, in fact, the money the West sends to Africa that is keeping the people there oppressed and impoverished.

We have stopped fighting the Cold War in Africa but the Russians haven't. They are not doing it to advance communism now, they have taken off that mask and are simply doing what socialists alway do: loot.

Met the new boss, same as the old boss.

H#$$ <---- What word is this? Hell? Is hell really a word you have to bl@nk out? I mean, hell, it's not like fuck. Why the the hell can't I use words like hell? Hell, I heard fuck and all it's varients at age 10.

If you don't want to curse in your writing, by all means, don't. But if you do curse, do it like Patton. With color and conviction!
