re: We live in a great Country!

Economics at its finest. By purchasing water excessively Americans can contribute to the increase in revenue for a company. That company then hires people who have wages. From there consumer spending goes up. When consumer spending goes up more organizations make money. Eventually this keeps going and large multinationals make money to donate or pay taxes so the government can aid Africa.

Therefore take that stupid arse comparison and flush it down the drain. You want to save Africa then you need to increase the US economy and disposable income. I know people who take their savings and get contributions from others to go do volunteer trips. Our excess consumption can lead to positives in Africa.

If you are that worried then tell the communist warlords to be productive members of society and not be a drag. That my friend is the real problem.
