For a continent that is supposedly poor, it is amazing that there must be trillions of dollars that people are attempting to smuggle out of the country, I know I have been offered a billion or so in total.

Problem is Owl, he's essentially right about our farm subsidies. I do not believe in artificially supporting or depressing our farm prices. It should be left up to the market and nature to determine prices.

Like all corporate welfare it should eliminated. I don't believe in taxing corporations, but by the same token I don't believe in giving them money either.

I have no problem giving them food for the short term and the necessaries to sustain themselves in the long term. It's when we just send food and none of the other that we embark on a fool's errand.

Wow, I thought you knew them all. I know you wrote most of them.
 
You flatter me.  Mostly, I just take that ethnic group's signature dish and append it with "monkey".  The guys in the mailroom are the real artisans when it comes to cultural affrontery.

From my correction's officer days, I remember that the inmates were great at coming up with new insults to cause trouble.

I have been thinking the same thing for years. Is it more humane for 100 to starve later than it would be for 10 to starve now?.

Niger... Nigeria... they're the same thing arent they?

They are not the same. Niger lost all it's a's and half its i's and has been struggling alphabetically ever since.

Sorry, Mr. K.

I've already made arrangements to bring that money into my personal account. Besides that, I have another $25 Million coming from Yassir Aarafat's widow.

Who says all that email is worthless spam??
