Solving poverty in the third world

"It's morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money"
- W.C. Fields

so I was sitting here
in a semi-blind half conscious stupor
resulting not from the last four days
of binge like drinking
[I had little choice]
[my internet connection has been out]
[and is still crappy and unreliable]
[so yall wont see much of me till they get it fixed]
[and seeing as its canadia, who freaking knows when that'll be]
[its already been hosed for two weeks]

but rather from waking up at
the ungodly hours of half past six
or
in other words

four hours after I finally attempted sleep
since I dunno, friday

but I actually had a point here

in this particular daze
I was catching up on reading my friends list
[some 200 entries back and still going]

when I saw an article from the BBC
about some freaking depressing place in africa
full of starving babies and what not

scroll down my friends list
and there is a wired news article
about how the nigerian email scammers
are still raking in the bucks

and the solution came to me
wham
bam
bingo

all we have to do
is train the residents of the 3rd world
to fleece the "cognitavely challenged" among us

its a beautiful solution
not just in its simplicity
but unlike those food aid programs
where the UN lords shit over people head

this will restore pride and dignity to these people
while putting some money in their pockets
and food in their bellies

as for the others
well
as Mark Twain once said

"The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right."

A few (more) photos

My father and I
went out to the old french fortress of louisburg
over the weekend

and of course
I snapped some shots
