#6 You don't understand.
Our gubmint of elites sends relief that we pay for to their gubmint of elites. It's not about the people, it's about perception, and feeling good, and caring. And, after all, it doesn't hurt us in any way, just a few (of your) tax dollars.

#7 Of course they are going to steal the food aid ... the worst hit area is the main food producing area of the country. Most of their farmers are now dead. It is going to get much worse before it gets better.
