"It's extraordinary to me that the United States can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can't find $25 billion dollars to saved 25,000 children who die every day from preventable diseases."
- Bono, rock star and anti-poverty activist. (Source: The American Prospect blog)

man...that's really disturbing
the world is so selfish
I'm guilty myself..
We're all to blame. Who is willing to give up their needs for those of others?
The Pentagon alone spends more than $1 billion everyday.. instead it can save 1,000 children everyday who die from preventable diseases.
I might sound blonde saying this, but what's the concept of money anyways? All it is is a bunch of paper being spit out of a huge money machine...couldn't a couple little bills be spit out here and there for the starving people of the world?...instead of for that extra car to fill the extra space in a person's garage?
yes yes..I understand that by doing that it would decrease the worth of the money and more people would be in debt as a result of it blah blah blah.. :) I was just thinking out loud.
