" my own little garden that I feel much safer eating from."

You sound like a hippie of the 60s lost in the 21st century.

"You were in Africa 9 years - in the peace corps doing it out of the goodness of your heart?"

NO! I was implementing telecoms project, doing on the job training, making that epople come to the 20th century!!

See Elmat there doing goodness for the Nigerians

I met a lot of CUSO and VSO's and UN people all of them dreamers with their feet in the clouds, naive inncocent people. All of them didn't have a chance to find jobs in their countries of oring Canada and UK, and were using the poor countries as a ric kids' play ground.

"if however you were there only for money to make yourself PROFIT - how are you different from UAW people you criticize?

The difference between me and the UAW is that I go out there and I work without rights: I just negotiate a contract, they pay me I execute the project we make a farewell party ad I go to the next.

When I leave, I leave behind a "localized" guy who have profitted from my experience. I am in the business of renting my brain and my balls to this guys.

Forget about help for this and help for that: We are all doing things accroding to our own self interest. Not by desing, just because we are Homo Sapiens Sapeins and we are like that.

The poor African doesn;t need aid; They trade. They need to export their eay out of poverty. The Japanese, the Taiwanese, the South Koreansd did and like the Malays, the Thais, the Chinese and the Indians are doing right now.
