I totally respect everything you have said today as well. I have learned a lot and had my eyes opened to geo political problems that are going to be difficult for me to understand. I agree there too. It sounds like there are activists trying to help in South Africa as you have said which is a good thing IMO. So I thank you for the good conversation today, even if we may not ever truly understand one another.

I still think it is important to understand why Wal-Mart was incentivized to help the victims of Katrina. Most of those victims were all regular Wal-Mart customers, many of them probably also Brad Pitt customers. If Wal-Mart didnt break the rules, not only would more people have died but also, it would have effected Wal-Mart's bottom line as a hundred thousand loyal customers just died overnight.

I totally realize that geo political issues are going to stand in the way. But the large corporations of South Africa might benefit by getting involved here.
