Every single day, 30,000 children die, needlessly, of extreme poverty.
On July 6th, we finally have the opportunity to stop that shameful statistic.
8 world leaders, gathered in Scotland for the G8 summit, will be presented with a workable plan to double aid, drop the debt and make the trade laws fair. If these 8 men agree, then we will become the generation that made poverty history.
But they'll only do it if enough people tell them to.
That's why we're staging LIVE 8. 10 concerts, 100 artists, a million spectators, 2 billion viewers, and 1 message... To get those 8 men, in that 1 room, to stop 30,000 children dying every single day of extreme poverty.
We don't want your money - we want you!<ul><li><a href="http://www.live8live.com/">http://www.live8live.com/</a</li></ul>

Feel good socialism.
Africa is a money pit. I lived there in the 60s, and worked professionally in the 70s/80s. Until we kill a few thug-potentates, the money/aid will never reach those who need it.
Western governments cannot help Africans who will tolerate greed, thuggery, murder, rape, and mayhem. The Africans must rid themselves of their native oppressors. They thought they had it good when we helped them get rid of the imperialists. Now they are mired in civil war, AIDS is 1/3 in some places, and governments are pirates in suits.
My Dad was Military Attache in the Belgian Congo in the early 60s. We watched SGT Joe Mobutu promote himself (over dead bodies) to COL and then President. He raped their 'constitution' and made himself "Presidente a Vie" (President for Life).
I returned to Africa in the late 70s and visited Rhodesia on a profesional tour. While I disagree w/ apartheid, it was obvious even then the Robert Mugabe was a thug with access to socialist media, who would make him look good. Look at Rhodesia now. South Africa is little better (and worse in may ways) than when apartheid first died in the 90s.
A shame: both countries are beautiful, and the silent majority are all kind and gracious, regardless of colour.
