Mexico isn’t some starving nation in sub-Saharan Africa, you know. While poverty may be rife, the majority of people have enough of the bare essentials to get by.

If giving disadvantaged Mexican kids computers helps get them a better education and, in the long run, helps to raise the standard of living, then I’m all for it. A wealthier, healthier Mexico on our southern border can only be good for America.

Rockfeller gave China lamps, so they would buy his OIL. Slim is going to give away 250,000 laptops, and half of the recipients will sign up to TEL MEX Slim’s Internet, paying $40 USD a month, so they can download free pornography. That is pitiful. Education, NOT

A less corrupt government would be even better.

I'm with you. Enabling these kids to get a glimpse of what the world outside has come to take for granted can only help them raise their expectations of their own leaders. In the long run this could be a revolutionary act. I cannot fathom why freepers would trash someone doing something useful and out of Private funds to boot.

When Newt Gingrich proposed something like this in the 1990's for American poor kids, he was trashed by the liberal snot-noses. Just like what's happening here. Sheesh.
