Great news from our clear thinking sub-Saharan brethren, who, before colonization, had not yet come to possess whatever it takes to discover the use of writen language, the plow, or the wheel.

They should do well.

An adviser to the company I work for is from South Africa and has told several stories that would explain a lot of Africa's problems.

His father was the manager of a textile plant there back in the 60's & 70's and he worked there during break from school. He said that the workers only had to operate 1 machine at a rate of about $1 hr. When told that they could make an extra $1 hr for every machine they took on they all said no.

Imagine the crippling poverty and being given the chance to dig your way out just a little bit. Would you say no just because it would involve a little more work?
