The much anticipated "America Idol Gives Back" special aired last night with much success, or not. When Idol does these fundraisers it is for the people who don't have much, lost everything in a disaster, or are dying from a incurable disease. People should donate to rebuild New Orleans, cure cancer, but should they give millions of dollars for mosquito nets? I know that in Africa malaria is a horrible disease but why should we care? It's a curable disease and we should spend the money for the vaccine not cotton nets. That might sound cold and irrational but its the truth and Great Britain donating 20 million dollars for nets? Now thats irrational. 20 million dollars could supply the antidote for so many Africans or provide better living conditions, but no they it spend on nets. If it was me in Africa I would want a plentiful amount of vaccine ready for myself and my children so if we did get the disease we could be cured. Of course the world does not want to do that because they want to buy nets.
Idol Gives Back what a joke

| Personally I would want both. I hate mosquito bites, especially when you get bit on the foot or between your toes...ouch. They sould be protected by the nets and vaccinations. Maybe this country can look to their diamond resources and talk care of their own. Instead of the same old story where the corrupt reap the benefit of wealth while the rest of the population starve and suffer, lets force this group fend for themselves. We have enough problems here at home. The people should hijack their corrupt government and put the looters in a room full of those pesky mesquitos. |

Apr. 10, 2008 at 11:19:02 AM American Idol itself is a joke - I hate that... View this Comment It's better than that British chef's show! Well, maybe not. Singing kids aren't as appetizing as that big fish he was cooking this week. |
