I feel strongly that education is the strongest weapon we have. If we can help people help themselves a lot of good can come from it. If we can educate companies and individuals and make them reconsider what we put in the atmosphere then big strides can be made. Throwing money at a problem will do very little if education is not a big part of the picture.

I'm curious as to why the 'Bushtapo' is owed thanks by the oil-producing dictators of the world, but the Democrats who have filibustered to prevent any currently-viable energy source from being developed domestically (oil, coal, gas, nuclear, hydro) for the past thirty years aren't owed any thanks for the $130-a-barrel oil they've helped enable?

I don't know. Why do you ask? I've certainly never suggested such a thing.

Gil is actually correct. Western nations made plenty of money running Africa. Then when they left and gave control back to the Africans to a greater or lesser extent, the Africans by and large went right back to the forms of government that they had before: strong man led tribalism. As a result, the countries went to hell. (With rare exception. Botswana is doing quite well to my understanding.)

The only thing wrong with Africa as a continent is that everything wants to eat you. There is plenty wrong with the culture of the people (black, white or green), however.
