Don't tell me show me! I find it rather difficult to hand over money to self serving millionaires who hold governments hostage begging for money. Take ten of the top groups in the world and they could wipe out the national debt. We all agree that poverty has to be eradicated! Put your money where your mouth is? Talk is cheap, however poverty and starvation is very real.

How often do any of us really think about Africa? How often do any of us think about poverty as being a real problem? Street people have an idea, however how many street people where watching a free live aid concert? The whole world was being entertained for a few hours. Did you wake up this morning feeling better about the sad state of the world? Will the G8 boys really sweat the big ones? The pressure is on and the world has been shamed, however poverty will go on and on!

Animals have a better chance of being saved over human beings! Many let's save something groups are still in bed! The high priced entertainers will role out of bed thinking about the poor I'm sure??? The thought of poverty is fleeting, however ask the real poor people to forget for one minute why they are starving? "Where not looking for charity where looking for justice" By all means let's send care packages filled with justice! Is it any wonder that "God" stays out of the worldly mess???
