The Internet feeds the hungry!

The poor of Ethiopia need Ebay! According to Meles Zenawi, a good Internet connection is the "weapon that they need to fight poverty at the earliest possible time". Brilliant! This ranks up there with the government's current primary and secondary school education method - wide-screen plasma TVs emitting pre-packaged lessons (in English) to every public school in Ethiopia. Their teachers now just turn on the screen at the start of the lesson, and turn it off at the end. Why won't Bingham let me teach that way?
