#1 As much as I dont want anyone to starve. Giving food to Kimmie-boy-the-baby-killer so he can reward those who are politically loyal (and punish those who do not) is not going to solve the problem -- people will still starve, the politically fit will only get fatter.

#2 Well said, Super Hose. Why do we have to buy 'em food when Dear Leader has money to burn on plutonium processing and missile building. If Amnesty wants to donate the Amnesty budget, that's okay too!

#3 "Notwithstanding the obstacles to providing assistance, foreign states able to help must also provide the necessary food aid, to enable the North Korea government to fulfil its obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the right to food", Amnesty said.

Who says? Without any certainty that aid will indeed get to the people that need it, why should anyone have to send aid? It's always easy for orgs like Amnesty International to demand that aid be sent because more often than not, it's not their money that is being spent or wasted.

#4 Was anyone else annoyed when the United Way came out with it's "Fair Share" campaign?
