RE: If 50% of the defence budgets of the 10 biggest nations was given to philanthropic causes, would we see more or less war and violence in the world? - Ecotrain Question of the Week
ahhh, wise words no doubt.. just throwing money at things can cause more problems than we solve..
maybe if all the money was put into education and self sufficiency things might be improved.. definately in Africa.. i agree just buying food for poor people is a stop gap.. but going there and planting trees to raise the water table, or teaching them how to self build out of junk.. well that might actually help...
The real challenge would be HOW to spend it.. that is for sure .. the system would probably spend half of it just deciding how to allocate it!
