I happened to catch some of the coverage of Live8 on CNN over the weekend and I never thought I’d see newscasters having orgasms live on TV, but I saw multiple ones. I don’t get it. But then, I read stuff like this instead. No, it doesn’t provide any satisfaction for me, only sadness. The problems in Africa have very little to do with money – that’s a symptom, not a cause. But send money has become such a reflexive response it can be hard to overcome.
