Live 8 is finally OVER!
DEFEATING POVERTY IN AFRICA

Happy Birthday, America!! What a GREAT holiday!! Millions of Americans celebrating the very freedom they fear, and that really nice man, Bob Geldoff is telling us evil Americans what we should be doing with the money we work so hard for!! Why, we should be sending it to Africa, that's what. What's wrong with these people??

Here's an idea -- let's thank God that Live 8 is done and over, -- kapput!! What a bunch of sanctimonious, self-righteous, arrogant, narcissistic jerk-offs. They top off their great multi-venue circle-jerk Sunday with a demand that the United States of America cough up some more money for something they refer to as "aid and justice for Africa."

These rock stars have a goal, (in some cases, beyond the goal of avoiding soap and water). They are now demanding that the evil United States cough up 0.7% of its gross domestic product and send it to Africa. What these complete wastes of protoplasm don't grasp is that the 0.7% isn't theirs to demand or theirs to distribute as they see fit. That money belongs to the men and women of the United States who got up every morning and went out, and damned well, earned it.

Personally, I don't give a flying poop, just how much of our money they think should be sent to Africa. I dare say that the average security guard in Shenandoah, Iowa donates a greater percentage of his earnings to charity than do these characterless rock stars.

And just what is it about the continent of Africa?? Here is a continent with an incredible abundance of natural resources -- and a history that speaks to nothing but poverty. So, these Live 8 guitar players want to do something about poverty in Africa?? Maybe they should be demanding the return of land in Zimbabwe to the white farmers from whom it was stolen!! Just a few decades ago Zimbabwe was one of Africa's richest breadbaskets. Zimbabwean farmers fed their own country and many of their neighboring countries with the food from their farms and ranches.

Then along comes their new exalted ruler, . . . the great Robert Mugabe. He sends his goon squads out to steal the land from the white farmers -- murdering many of them -- and turns those farms over to his criminal soldiers. What happens next?? Hunger, that's what. Now Zimbabwe can't even feed its own people, let alone the citizens of neighboring African countries.
To make matters worse, Mugabe is now engaged in a campaign to destroy the homes of poor citizens in Zimbabwe's capitol so that they will move back out into the bush where they won't be so visible and problematic. So, . . . did you hear one of these rock stars even hint that the United States should do something about Mugabe? Are you kidding? Sure, they like want to fight like poverty and like all that, . . . but that doesn't mean that they're ever going to like say one like negative word about any of the like dictators who like, . . . steal so much of the aid money and like, . . . . keep their own people in poverty.

Oh, yeah, . . . and here's something else that these brilliant rock-stars you won't hear about. I'm talking about the birth rate in Africa. In Africa, as in America and in so many other parts of the world, the people who can least afford to raise children are the people with the highest pregnancy rates. It is considered to be gravely politically incorrect in America to ever suggest that a woman who cannot afford to raise a child should do something to prevent pregnancy. It seems you can't address this situation in Africa either. The solution for African women having children they can't afford to raise is to go to the United States and confiscate the money needed to raise them.

The problems faced by Africa are, by and large, cultural in nature. Though our illustrious rock stars wouldn't touch this, the dominant African culture is one of irresponsible reproduction, tribal warfare, submission to dictatorial despots, anti-capitalistic governments and unprotected sex leading to rampant disease. Live 8 isn't going to change this, and either is confiscating more American wealth to be poured into this mess.

The answer to African poverty may well be to shed this burden of political correctness and to start calling the shots over there as we see them. I can just hear the libs crying over that idea. If these intellectually superior, (read: "dishonest"), rock stars really want to do something about poverty and justice in Africa a good first step might be to ask the Western world to forcibly remove Robert Mugabe from power in Zimbabwe and return the farming land to its rightful owners.

Yeah, like the great guitar players in the halucinations will be thinking that's going to happen.

God Bless,
Dan'L
