How is it going to be cotrolled so it's not used on crops, etc when

of these places education ahsn't made a snip of difference in regards to
hygiene or birth control so how are they going to be responsible for a
controlled substance? Wouldn't it be better to find some ecologically
safe way to combat the problem? There are plants, the pyrethrums, thatt
can be planted. Get the stagnant water problems under control. Plant
plants that deter misquitos (mosquito plant, citronella, eucalyptus..)...



Yes, Katy, I guess those black Africans in charge of health in their
countries are just too dumb to trust.


My sister0in0kaw has been to Kenya, ine if the mire civilized countries
in Africa, twice with Operation Smile. On one of the trips a nurse died
of a heart attack becasue the ambulance never came to the hotel and they
could not get the police to clear traffic. Malaria medication,
antibiotics, etc. are on the black market and are used as trade items
rather than being distribbuted to where they're supposed to go. Has
nothing to do with black. I am not racially prefudiced. Why foist on
poor people the same ills we foisted on ourselves? Why poison them?
When I still worked at the retirement complex, I had 4 African students
working at the nursing home. 2 were studying to be nurese, one a
hospital administrator, and one a social worker. They are all going back
to their respective countries when they graduate to help their country.
We sat often and discussed the problems in Kenya, Ghana, and South
Afica. Believbe me, they would not accept your soluition for their people.

Pick up the white man's burden and
make sure it's done in a politically correct fashion, and never mind the
black bodies piling up in the meantime.


So kill them with pesticides instead. How civil of you. My personal
opinion about the majority of Africa is that the world has ignored it
and shame on the world. Great Britain, France and Italy all had colonies
and when they left they left for good. Shame on them. They assumed
stewardship, gave it up, and left a mess.
