    The G8 confrence went very well. The aid was doubled to $50 billion a year, and there will be another summit in a few months to discuss this further.

    And perhaps more importantly, they've agreed to drastically cut export subsidies which keep Africa in poverty. Unfortunatly no date on this has been set, but in the next few decades, this will do much more for Africa then even the aid.

    George Bush is a travesty to man. What a worthless man that is so against so many things. I wish he would get over himself and realize that everyone is different. People deserve to be who they are. There are many things that I personally don't belive in but would never stop anyone else from feeling that it was right. Seriously, I feel so bad that so many people are hurt because they feel a certain way. It's so sad! And now, people are starving, and other high-up people act like they care, but the couple thousand dollars that mean nothing to them, they can't give it up to help those poor people. I wish I had any money at all. I'd give it to others to help them survive, but I can barely survive myself. Gosh what is the world coming to?
