THE LAST DITCH
This is off-topic for my blog (and I am pretty suspicious of the long-term effects of foreign aid in Africa). However, the organiser is a private charity trying to do good, so good luck to it. Vote for the project and American Express will provide them with up to $1.5 million in funding for their work with malnourished children. Why wouldn’t you vote?
Actually I already voted for this over at Lady Mac’s when she was suggesting it. My problem, as I said there too, is that the money will be allocated based on number of votes instead of on the merits of the various projects.

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
