Help for a reason?


Thought of the day:

Isn't there enough FREE land on earth for each family, where we can build a house or cultivate the land? We have enough potential and resources to eliminate poverty. Despite all that development aid to developing countries, these countries have hardly progressed - perhaps partly due to the receiver's inability to manage the money but also because of the donors' intentions. Development aid is a political masquerade. I doubt there is a genuine help if it's done through the government level. It's politics and business.

"You support us in the UN security council and we HELP you build highways". That's not help. The first part of the statement is usually obscured and only the latter part is usually revealed for public consumption. We fall for that.
