That's a good reply. But most people didn't make it in the thread on African aid. They just waltzed right into the "a life is a life is a life" assumption without even pointing it out.

An attempt to seriously address the dilemma of African aid is much more than I can do in a blog post. My own reasoning on the matter has not hit bottom yet. Please don't interpret my post as being against aid to Africa, or as being my final rejection to aid from Africa.
