From “The Hindu”
“The poor nations need aid – immediately and in a substantial measure.
The rich nations can afford to give it. “Enlightened globalisation”, as Sachs calls it, can lead to eradication of poverty. For this to happen, there has to be an attitudinal change, primarily on the part of the rich countries and to some extent from the poor countries. Only then can poverty become history.”
“Fifty percent of Americans polled said they feared the federal government would spend too much on reconstruction [in New Orleans].
Forty-five percent said Americans should make “major sacrifices” to pay for the effort, but only 20 percent said they would be willing to make those sacrifices themselves.”
Grant, I have news for you. APU is teaming up with the American Red Cross to do disaster relief training. I did it last weekend and I’ll be going to somewhere on the gulf coast within 4 months for 9 days. I can get you information if you want to do the training and stuff. Let me know.
