As always, thanks for reading!

Chris, ONE.org

You know, it hit me just a bit ago. I don’t know why I missed it before. I generally wouldn’t. Kevin’s post isn’t really a question. It’s a statement of belief. He believes that governments owe people in forgein lands. Unfortunately, he’s believing in a lie. If it were actually true and governments did owe something to people in forgein countries for aid, One.org wouldn’t be pressuring them (the government) for money, and then more money. I imagine in the future, it’s going to be more money still…. Kevin didn’t ask a question. He made a statement. A classic “me too” statement, or in this case, maybe it’s a “them too” statement. Either way, it’s a One.org statement, which for this site, it fine. If he chooses to believe it, that’s unfortunate, but it’s on him…not me.

Other than that Debbie, I really can’t leave. You see, I’m all about advocacy. I’m an advocate of monetary responsibility, common sense, and good judgement. I’ve decided that you here at One.org message boards need my help. That’s right. You need my help. And I don’t feel like leaving until I’ve helped you and others here. I’m going to help you. You will take my help because I don’t think I’m going to give you a choice. (Do you think you can see the parallel that I’m drawing here?)

Heck, I bet I could start a non-profit and get this concept funded! Wanna help me come up with a name?

Seriously though Debbie. I’m not leaving. Advocacy is walking into the lions den and talking turkey with the beasts as well as all the happy, mushy, la-la landing and “gee, I feel so wonderful for doing this. I’m such a good person…” stuff. Maybe you should become a true advocate for One.org, visit an organization that I would, and go advance your cause there. Then, you would be truly an advocate. As it is right now, you’re not actually doing anything hard or uncomfortable. It’s time to get all un-cozy with your personal thoughts and step into the real world. Become a real advocate and walk into the lions den….unless of course, you prefer your posh mental existance.

The only person that you know who thinks properly and only slightly less important than the previous, your absolute best friend in the whole wide “wow…isn’t that rainbow wonderful?” world,

Steve B.

I’m sure that Kevin knows that. Maybe you could become part of an organization that lobbies for your ideas. It would be more effective than simply stating your ideas here.

Properly Yours, debbie:)

Oh. BTW, there’s your “proper” response.

It’s amazing that whenever ONE of us bring up the insane amout of $700 billion for the bailout of incompetent businessmen and denying the poorest people on earth $10 billion so that they can simply live & take care of their families (PRO-LIFE POSITION), these negativists can never properly respond to our questions.

Very interesting………

Take very good care, Kevin. Blessings always,

AS ONE, debbie

My name is abdoul and I am working at Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders in London. I would like to get in touch as we launch a campaign of appeal to Zimbabwe.

Indeed cholera has spread all over the country now and Zimbabwe is experiencing an unprecedented outbreak. The situation is even worse for the lack of sanitation and water. There are also concerns with the start of the rainy season and the shortage of drugs.

We obviously want to spread this message as far as we can and I know that for this particular place, mainstream media isn’t necessarily the place to do that and that the online communities who care about the situation is big and very active. I was basically wondering if you would like to cover this issue on your blog.You can get more information about our involvement in Zimbabwe at http://www.msf.org.uk/msf_reponds_beitbridge_20081127.news

I apologise for contacting you out of the blue – I found you through various online networks and through your blog itself and I have only contacted you because I thought you might be genuinely interested in this topic.

Thanks for taking the time to read this far

Abdoul,

When you said, “Unfortunately most of the countries had often misused these foreign aids.”, the next question is this:

Just where DID that foreign aid money go? Who or what actions did that money support?

After that the next question that I would want answered is this:

If a countries leaders show love to their fellow countrymen by misusing the money that was given to them to help build an infastructure and feed it’s people, why would an organization such as One.org start hollering for more money? If One.org is for the betterment of the worlds poor why are they not working with 3rd world governments as well as world leaders to actually help these people?

It’s maddening to think that an organization like One.org would suggest that more money is the solution.

If it’s a bad day for a nations people whos governments or dictators starve and neglect them with misused appropriations, how much worse of a day is it when organizations like One.org beg and plea for more and larger sums of money for said governments to continue to abuse? Moreover, what does that say about One.org?

What country are you from Online Campaigner? I’m guessing that you’re not from here.
