Oprah has opened up schools and orphanages and fed people in Africa.

That is all find and good but the people of Africa need even more, they need non-hostile leadership and people who are able to help that really care. Then they need to get some self-esteem and start helping themselves too.

The event included African dance classes, where young people attempted to soar and twirl down the dance floor, as well as face-painting, music concerts and storytelling.

I'm sure there is one heck of a lot of soaring and twirling down dance floors in Somalia, Zimbabwe, and the rest of that Godforsaken continent.

What was it that David Hannum once said about suckers? There's one born every minute.....
