Our (U.S. Poor) are wealthy compared to truly destitute third world nations -- Haiti, is an example here in the western Hemisphere.
I say the above not to detract from providing meaningful aid to truly disadvantaged people, the trick is how to provide the aid in a useful long lasting way that isn't a hand out but enables the people to take care of the self; to give them some hope.

Hi Bob, This international transfer scam has been going on for years and has always had its fanboys in the press/media. Foreign aid generally winds up in the pockets of *rich* foreign nationals, and that will happen with most future programs as well. Like we don't have any poor amongst natural born US citizens. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
