Check this out, Jack.  They tried to explain to you thick-heads that,
not only is it helping short-term, that they are giving them the 
technology to help themselves.  They are giving the machinary,
the seed, and the know-how.  I wish some of you people out there would
open your minds to these things. Instead of merely expressing an
opinion, why don't you f*cking do something about it?
