RE: Students Come Together To Build Tiny Homes For The Homeless
hahaha if only Brad Pitt would come here! I'm not taking away from the destruction or tragedy of Katrina but there was still something to resurrect - roads, water, electricity, sewerage - normal living conditions. Plus we are still not talking about the same amount of people. It is estimated that 11.6 million people live in the 76 largest townships in SA.
Or... If the Brad Pitts of your country cared enough, they could pool their money, raise money and get things done to work towards an acceptable end without any Governmental action at all.
I admit, I did not know the size of the problem but I am not certain it matters. There is clearly a leadership problem. I think we both agree there. Where we disagree is in the leadership they put their trust into.
So why, out of all those millions of people, can they not lead themselves to some sort of victory?
Is it because they are too busy waiting for someone to give them free and easy answers?
That just does not seem like a very good way to go about handling the problem.
Organizing over a million people should be able to get a lot done. Including roads, sewers, etc. regardless of it being illegal or not.
In the Katrina storm, the US Government would not allow people or any humane help into the area, it was not legal to help them either. It was a huge mistake. Wal-Mart had trucks full of supplies already on the roads that were ready to donate but the US Fed Gov would not let them in the door.
So they broke laws, they sneaked trucks of supplies in anyway. There were humans in there who were in DIRE NEED!
No one got into any sort of long term trouble, everything was appreciated in the end.
