Some pretty big news came down the pipeline today by the UN. It seems that the UN Food Agency does not have enough food to help the people of Kenya. If they do not get the food they need, then million of people will starve causing a major catastrophe. It seems that Kenya has had a rather large drought this year and without the help of the UN, there will be a catastrophe of epic proportions. The drought is not just in Kenya but most of the north eastern part of Africa. Now, Canada has a large abundance of food in both wheat and cattle, if we give it to the UN to help feed the African people, we would save millions of lives. The US could also give money to the UN to pay for the food as well. This is a chance for world leaders to step up and show that they care about the people of the world and help out. After the food is given, we could send engineers over there to figure out a way to permanently irrigate the area or even all of Africa to stabilize the region.
This is a time to act people, and if we don't do something soon....it would be disastrous on a global scale.

have you ever decided to run for political office?
n/j intended, a realistic / simple approach that would greatly help.
but, if they don't have oil or some other high demand product, how many come running quickly ...
sad, sad, sad.
Actually I have decided to run for office, the only question is when I will do it. In order to run, you need a substatial base of voters and the most important thing of all....Money. Unfortuently, I won't have the money for at least 10 years as I am still going to University. Once I am done I will be able to afford a political campaign to get into office, and then into 24 Sussex. This isn't a dream, it's a vow.
I know that it is bloody unlikely that any nation will do a damn thing to help the African people and it is a damn shame. I just wanted to post this to get the word out and maybe, just maybe someone will listen.
