Did I ask for what these people think educating girls in africa would do? No. I observed that educating people to whom the education means nothing is utterly without point.

If a girl in africa has a chance at having a better life because of her education... then she is in the same position as a boy in africa who has a chance at having a better life because of his education. Unless that 'education' comes with 'hey, here's a way out of this shithole', or 'hey, your country has a huge use for scientists', or maybe 'hey, your parents don't rule over you until they die': if they weren't already in a position where they were being educated, educating them now will do nothing for them.

Absolutely. I'm frugal though, I think my charity dollar will have the most impact in Africa.

It'd have a great deal more impact for the poverty-stricken in 'The West' or 'The East'... let Africa to itself: she can't hurt anything as such a splintered and individually weak region.

Equally distribute the wealth and have lower retirement ages.

I agree!

If we're doing this age-line nonsense... let's make it 20 Just another 25 hours until I'll meet that: I'd gladly work all of them.
