This generation of players -led by Crosby- will certainly go down in Canadian lore. That second Cup and most recent international gold vaults him into rarefied hockey air.
If the world was a village of 100..

I dunno. The U.S. gives the most foreign aid, publicly and privately, of any country in the world.
-
but not per capita, I think sweden or some euro country gives the most per capita

The US Government. Your counting our Weapons programs. We give out 10 billion in foreign aid per year. 8.5 Billion of that is in weapons. Almost 4 billion to Israel alone.

Americans are bred isolated from such realisms of the world. Later in life, ignorance, resulting from the long built isolation, keeps the cycle going on indefinitely. Even those “enlightened” in these realisms feel powerless to effect them. Return to their job, the house, the kids, the car, the vacations, the fast food, the computer…
Long behold, the Communist Revolution.

That would be the Southerners from Missouri. God Bless…

Our universities give out over 10 billion alone in free tuition for foreign students.

30 billion .
Sounds too high. That is almost his whole fortune. Wasn’t it more like 3 billion?
Anyway, your point was that Americans are lucky, and that we don’t know it. But we give so much to foreigners.

Well, whatever it is, I know for a fact that he gives more to fighting AIDS then the US government does. Try criticizing that… :wink:
-
He donated half his fortune to help fight Aids.
-
DeviantS - That’s right. Most people in the US trying to put food on their own table, aren’t always happy watching our government give away millions to foreigners. Give me 100 grand, and it will take the edge off my worries…
