« Lessons From the 'Hood | Main | A Day At Dunstable Downs, With Dog »

October 09, 2005

Feed Retrofit the World

What I want to know is...once we finally win the war on poverty, can we turn our attention to building earthquake-proof homes for people in third-world earthquake-prone countries?

Until then, I don't want to hear another word about putting a man on the moon.

Anyone have a list of charities to donate to in the meantime? I've had it with the Red Cross.
