Good morning all!!!! Great comments!! Appears that we all agree that a few greedy "haves" hoard profits from the "have nots". However I do not believe that we should give up on nationalization and privatization. Its current ineffectiveness is the result of a lack of middle-class presence- a solid body of productive citizens who realize their collective power to effect change in government and policy. This of course is a long term investment goal. At this point, the brigades Stan and J Wolfsberger call to bear reside in the international community. Key to successful employment of these brigades would be less focus on short term investment goals (business deals that only benifit a few African elites and foreign investors, band-aid fixes for wounds that really need turnicuits- these only perpetuate Africa's UNDERDEVELOPMENT) and more focus on fostering an environment where the middle-class will grow. As the Africa's people get stronger, the harvest of its natural resources will increase exponentially and drive costs down for the global community in the long run- a true win win situation!!!
