more than half a million people in Zimbabwe.

Only if they are White Farmers robbed of their land and holdings by
Mugwumpie! And then only if the funds are handed out by some other
honest government.

Why don't the UN get the $54 million out of Mugabe's Swiss bank
account?

I don't give a care if they're starving or not, they don't deserve one
ounce of food from the world they refuse to join. A blind man could
see this coming, let the idiots starve. If we start feeding them now,
it will be forever.

They should give back the land they took from the white farmers, or
they should stave.

Let me see if I remember how this old song goes. First a chorus of
complaint, with images of starving children and painfully thin men
standing around doing nothing. Stanza upon stanza telling us that this
is our fault, we are rich and they are poor so we must help them, a
growing sense of menace as we anticipate the throwing of the race
card, and finally the stirring cadenza where children of all races,
women with smiling faces, old people with gratitude shining thruough
thier eyes assemble from stage left, stage right and walk into the
camera's field from all directions cheering our unstinting support and
generous charity. That about how it goes?
Sorry, but it no longer plays. Mugabe is a racist, a thief and a
monster. He has billions hidden away in his private bank accounts, he
pays millions for his pleasures and to retain the loyalty of his
followers and he rakes off a handsome profit from any activity in his
country.
He has created this mess by a allowing and encouraging his bully boys
to take over farms that have been run for generations by white
farmers. Since his bully's can't farm there is a shortage of food.od
Now Judith wanst us all to send cash so they can buy food locally?
What kind f idiots dies she take us for? What kind of idiot or
mouthpiece for Mugabe is she?
In my humble opinion, Mugabe needs to address his problems personally
.

My, my! Now how did THIS happen? Rhodisia/Zimbabwe exported food, now
this! Yeah, I'm sure that I'll be happy to spend my tax money on that
place. cheers

NO! You don't farm, you don't eat. Simple!

They kill the farmers, steal their land and now they want us to help
them..........tell Anan to donate the money from his undeserved 'peace
prize'.

Mugabe shut down ALL farming and placed the white farmers under house
arrest. He shouldn't get a g-d thing from the UN or anyone else. Of
course, the world will find a way to Blame Whitey for this mess.

NO! NO! NO! Give them NOTHING! The raped and murdered white farmers
while the rest of the world did nothing (you see, it was only white
people dying so it doesn't matter to the U.N.-types).
Give these low-life S.O.B.s nothing!

Hey, who wants to work when the needed items can be shaken down from
the touchy-feely liberals around the world? We must begin the protest
in earnest NOW before the reason there is starvation is lost in the
heat of compassion.

Starve and die by the millions. Remember the white farmers and their
families. Starve to death while the flies swarm around you. I don't
give a shi!.... We knew it was coming. They can't farm. They can't
plow. They can't do anything but breed, rape, murder and beg. Gee,
sounds like the inner cities in this country.

guess they never heard the fable of "The grasshopper and ant"
I have to agree, let them starve. They destroyed the farms, took them
over. If they cannot produce food, oh well.

Reply 17 - Posted by: Coral Pink, 12/16/2001 7:48:15 PM
Hell no. They can pay for the aid, and the precise cost is that land
they stole from those farmers, plus a 500-word essay to Hugo Chavez
explaining to him that this is the stupidest thing any government
could ever do and please don't top Zimbabwe in the stupidity
sweepstakes.

As in so many cases, IF the UN had acted years ago when Mugabe's
terrorists first started hijacking farms and murdering farmers--or
even a year or so ago when experts warned starvation was coming--aid
might very well not be necessary. Not so long ago, just before the
farm hijackings, Zimbabwe was a net exporter of food. Would someone
please tell me what good the UN does these days?

The UN sat back and watched while this joker sent blacks out to kill
white farmers and take the farms. Well, what's the compalint? They
took the farms...they got rid of the bad white people....so now, it's
time to go to work. Grow food. Earn your living for a change! What a
colossal joke! They steal the farms and now they don't know how to run
them!

How about confiscating Mugabe's frozen European assets and turning
them into cash for food purchases? That way he will pay for the damage
that's been done, and children and other hapless innocents will have
the food they need.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
ORIGINAL VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house
and laying in supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a
fool
and
laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is
warm
and
well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in
the
cold.
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house
and laying in supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a
fool
and
laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands
to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well-fed while
others
are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering
grasshopper
next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled
with
food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that
in
a
country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody
cries
when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house,
where
the
news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse then
has
the
group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Al Gore exclaims in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has
gotten
rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax
hike
on
the ant to make him pay his "fair share."
Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper
Act,"
retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for
failing
to
hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to
pay
his
retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a
defamation
suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of Federal
judges
that Bill had appointed from a list of single-parent welfare
recipients.
The
ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
the
ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to
be
the
ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The
ant
has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug-related incident and the
house,
now
abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once
peaceful
neighborhood.

These vile animals screamed about whitey, killed or ran off all the
white farmers who were feeding their sorry a$$es, now want to beg for
money.
Did someone tell them they were entitled to reparations?
Let 'em eat dirt and die.

Those cretins have to be made to pay for what they have done. In an
ironic twist to all of this is that a lot of the white farmers whose
land was seized have fled to neighboring Mozmbique where they have
been welcomed and where they have started...farming.It shouldn't be
too long before the low lifes in Zimbabwe have to import food from
Mozambique because they don't know how to work the land that was given
to them.

Great work on the grasshopper & ant revision.
Late one night, I heard my Mama and Daddy smoking crack and fucking.
Mama say, "Daddy. I'm worried. That motha fuckin boy be wanting food
all day, and food all night. He just be hungry all
the time."
And Daddy say, "Yo Bitch. Dat ain't mah motha fuckin kid. That boy ain't my responsibility. Fuck him; yo ho get me another malt liquor before I'z bitch slap yo ass."
