Idiocy is International

“If the US Government chooses who heads UNICEF for the coming years than I fear for Global Child Survival in the future”
-Richard Lansid (whose name I may have spelled wrong), editor of a European Medical Magazine and random commentator on CNN.
Tiff had just finished commenting on how the current UNICEF president seems to think that money can solve all the medical problems in the world, including AIDs. I think she may have been exaggerating a little, but the Prez certainly seemed convinced that by ending all wars and ending poverty all the children of the world would be better. I don’t know, leaders like that tend to get all fired up when they’re allowed to make speeches. Their representative seems a lot more level-headed.
I have nothing against UNICEF, I’m thrilled that we have organizations like them, but people like Richard from the magazine really aggravate me. The great evil US could never know how to address all the global problems of children. After all, how could someone from that rich country possibly find a way to convince all the other people in that rich country to part with their money and pour it into helping children in need?
Half the people over here think we’re a bunch of warmongers, another quarter of them think we’ve got our heads on the wrong end. Thank God there’s about a quarter left that has the brains to realize we’re more than what gets poured over the airwaves.
He sounded French.
It doesn’t matter. Idiocy is international.
