If they had given the africans birth control injections or implants in 1985 when we all gave so much to Live Aid then now over 20 years on  there woudnt be the starvation, and hungry babies with flies in their eyes.  I note being hungry doesnt stop them reproducing.  I refuse to give to any african charities now because either they dont get the aid promised or it goes into the pocket of their rulers.  Harsh but true.  Remember when the Tsunami hit thailand and other parts of asia, they didnt sit on their backsides with their hands out, they were clearing up and getting on with re building their lives. Not so with africa, they sit with their hands out waiting for someone to help them. AFRICA - get up of your @rses and work.
