Diarrhea is one of the most common causes of child and infant mortality in the underdeveloped world. The kids can't retain any fluid, get dehydrated, and die. The sad thing is, they can be saved very easily, with some of the cheapest medications that exist; saving a baby's life can cost only a few pennies. The difficulty lies in delivering these drugs to extremely remote areas not served by hospitals, clinics, or health-care workers.

I do not doubt this.

What do you or others propose? These are 3rd world unedumakated natives that have been under the auspices of the un for decades. What the hell is anyone supposed to do about it? What? Send more money to their freakin'* (*word replaced) leaders to build more palaces and caviar for there "state" dinners? What in the hell do you propose? Do you want me to go over there and live with them and tell them not to crap in their own water? Tell them to stop believing in "the goddess of the holy mountain of goat's heads"?

What do you propose?
