Russ,Russ,Russ I think you need to need to travel in Africa to figure out what is really going on. Talk to some of the black farmers , black teachers and black doctors and listen to their point of view. I use the term "black" because you seem to a byast view of what anyone who may not be pigmentley challenged has to say. Personaly I think of anyone born in a country as being "Native" to that country.So asking you to speak to Africans or Native Africans would put you talking to the very people who you seem to be blaming for Africa's problems. Most of the slaughter, killings , destability can be set at the likes of Idi Amin ,tribal tradition , religion and "the way of the gun. I do not support what the "Veterans " are doing down there right now. Paying a fair wage is fine . But it must be in line with what the wages are in that country. If you want to go after something that is dirty. Ask your self why many companies sell materials banned in industrialized countries to underdeveloped ones.DTT can be purchased all over Africa and is used for everything down to cleaning kitchens and spraying for Chicken Pox. If slave wages are going on point them out "NIKE ? " But a 12 dollar wage is not a slave wage in many parts of Africa. Contracting- Where a person bids on the costs of picking a field of vegtables occurs in Canada' the USA and most of Africa. ( The bidder then pays the pickers )It is a system that is amazingly corrupt in all 3 countrys and the folks running it come from all sorts of ethnic backgrounds. Give Hans a break. It takes guts to stay in a country with such changing stability.I doubt he stays where he is because of the cheap help . Next time you buy some vegtables why not find out who got paid for picking them and how much. If it was by contract it is most likely the pickers where foriegn, spoke little english and were paid a slave wage. Usery exists here as well. regards ralfph
