i enjoyed it. why everyone is being so cynical about it, i don't know. everyone i talked to was down on it. fuck them all. nobody lets anyone be nice anymore, they want it to always be selfish or whatever. way to ruin the fucking world, you pessemist dicks.

Sure, but these is a issue about scale. In order to solve problems of this magnitude what is needed is systemic change with in Africa. Good governance, the rule of law, and economic policies designed to attraqct foreign investment would go a long way to solving most of the largest problems. Instead aid money and the citizen's tax money is stolen by dictators or spent on military equipment which is used to keep said dictator in power instead of things like education, infastructure development, and social programs.
