Oh, man. I wonder what'll happen when the Koslings and DUers read this?
I mean, it goes against just about every accepted truth of global economics, charity, Western decadence, welfare-statism, independent achievement, and the transformative power of rock music that so many hold so dear. Hearing a Kenyan economist speak in such candid, eloquent terms, while the Der Spiegel interviewer sits there in shock and horror while his country's largesse is pushed away with pleading words—it's stunning.
...Wait, I know what they'll say. They'll turn to Bono's identification of Bush's commitment of world-leading aid to Africa, and use that as reason to blame America for ruining Africa with our filthy dollars. It makes perfect sense!
