I agree, and I'll add that it is better to be a cheerleader of a real
cause than to be a cheerleader of one that isn't real. Personally, I
think I look funny in a skirt and pom-poms, and I worry that someone
might disagree.

Giving every kid on the planet a laptop is a wonderful idea, just like
feeding them might be a grand idea. Clothing and shoes might be useful
as well.

The inherent problems with these laptops have not been addressed by any
of the cheerleaders - or Negroponte for that matter. Sure, the song has
a nice beat but the lyrics are really lacking.
