John,
I kind of disgree with this statement, Its like saying; its bad to sale
John Deere tractor and harvestor to a farmer in Africa, but its ok to sale
ship loads of rice and wheat to that farmer from USA. This defeats the
purpose of famous saying "Don't give begger a ready made food, show him
how to grow food for his long term sustainabilty, so he would stop
begging, stealing and all that he does to survive"
