I re-read my post regarding "giving with the mouth" and the post of repzoo44. I thought he has questioned amount of money promised by Bush for Africa. But then I read that I have written "500 billion US$. That's wrong of course and I apologize for the confusion. My fault. Correct is: Germany will donate 500 MILLION Euro for the next 3 years.

But regarding Africa the figure is correct: Bush promised 5 billion US$.

By the way, several days ago I have got an email from a guy in Guyana who is doing export of redtail boas for a long time now.

Here is an interesting abstract of his email:

"... some what over ten years back when the Peoples Progressive Party came to power in Guyana, the new President Dr. Cheddy Jagan in an attempt to market Guyana as a conservationist country closed the wild life trade hoping that this would help to get financial aid from U.S.A. President Clinton. The buyers did not go out of business, but simply took their trade next door to Surinam, at the same time our trappers still had to feed their families so instead of selling the snakes from Guyana, they took them across the Curantine river to Surinam , thus giving our traditional market over to our competitors. The U.S. aid never came but all of a sudden Surinam became the lading shipper of red tail boas."

You should melt the last sentence on your tongue: "the U.S. aid never came..."

It figures, doesn't it?

So, in the end, it was YOU, H & E, who was "giving from the mouth"!

Why did it take you so long to admit your "mistake" (propaganda), lol?

By the way, you are wrong again! You did not say that it was "$500 billion US$". You can't seem to get your story straight, can you H & E?

Maybe you can learn to deal with facts, next time you bash Americans. But, then again, you have do distort the facts in order to make the US look bad.

Reminds me of the WORLD BANK, which loaned money out to impoverished and under-developed countries under the premise of improving their lot.....and when said debt could not be repaid(Which of course it couldnt, those that took it out did so without seeing the big picture, so happy were they that they had a temporary reprieve from their hard, short and brutal lives) ..Well then the World Bank, via the U.S. Government...helped overthrows of existing Governments in that country and installed their own PUPPET government while at the same time privatizing the hell out of the citzens of that country who WERE ALLREADY AS POOR AS CHURCHMICE before this all started.

W.T.O......WORLD BANK......U.S.

NOTHING is free. But everything can be taken.
All altruistic giving aside, our lavish lifestyles(From a world perspective) are supported worldwide by the misery of other people in other places, the unnecessary consumption of THEIR natural resources, and the politization of their daily lives.

Sincerely,

The moral of this story: Don't "borrow" money that you have no intention of repaying!

"NOTHING is free. But everything can be taken."

I have no idea what you mean here. Who took what? Are you referring to those "impoverished and underdeveloped countries" when they took money from the "WORLD BANK" but didn't pay it back? Please explain.

"All altruistic giving aside, our lavish lifestyles(From a world perspective) are supported worldwide by the misery of other people in other places, the unnecessary consumption of THEIR natural resources, and the politization of their daily lives."

You have to be absolutely insane if you are suggesting that by throwing ridiculous amounts of money at Middle Eastern countries for oil ("consumption of their natural resources"has created "misery" to "other people in other places". Your statement is so gereral and cryptic, I'm really not sure what you mean. Please explain.

Successful people in this country, who live "lavish" lifestyles, are usually the same people who create opportunities/jobs for other people. What "misery", specifically are you saying that they cause to "other people in other places" and who, exactly, are these "other people inother places"?

Just curious, but was this a legitimate email or one of those scams where they want to buy a $20 animal with a $3000 check.

No, this is a very serious person.
I will post all the details in a few days on my website. The topic of our email contact was if there is a difference between Suriname and Guyana redtail.

There is none, by the way.
