Sub-Saharan Africa is not only disgusting and hopeless, but it should be left alone so as to self-correct. There are 18,000 reported murders per year, and millions die of AIDS or from un-reported murders. Somalia and Durfor are simply one tribe fighting another, and a few years ago, hundreds of Tutsies killed the other bunch, whose name I can’t remember, or the reverse, but so what? The whole place is hopeless. Rhodesia no longer exists, which once was civilized, prosperous, and exported food from its ample farms. Now it is Zimbabwe, run by a maniac who has destroyed it. The gold mines are mostly played out I hear, and aside from diamonds, I can’t think of anything worth while left to be envious about, or covet. Johannesburg is a virtual no-mans-land, and white farmers have been so often murdered that they are abandoning their legally owned farms, and fleeing for their lives. Mob rule exists in sub Saharan Africa, and surely no one can question this observation.
Why then, do nations as well as the UN, pour effort and money into black Africa? What is the point? The Peace Corps did nothing towards civilizing black Africa, and none of the thousands of workers sent there or volunteers going there have made a smidgen of difference in anything. Were black Africa left totally alone, the murders and nature alone would thin the population to the point where intelligence would surface, and would bring civilization with it. It was the whites who built the cities, railroads, mines, airports and farms. Now the whites have been run out, murdered, or had their property confiscated, and there is nothing left with which to build anything. Why even try? Attempting to heat a building when all the windows are broken is pointless and impossible. Pouring money and effort into black Africa, is as futile as trying to make a lady out of the late Anna Nicole Smith. What’s the big deal out of a beautiful piece of female trash dying or killing herself? This is important news?
Next week, I will be closed half day on Wednesday, and all day Thursday and Friday. I am celebrating my 73rd birthday by going to Las Vegas. If you need me, call on Monday, Tuesday, or before noon on Wednesday. Sorry, but this is indeed a one man show, and it has definite advantages for you. With no employees, no rent to pay, no advertising or other complications, I can easily beat other’s prices, and being honest and dependable, you are certain to get your purchases without having to wait weeks or months. I do not operate on “OPM” or other people’s money, as some do. For accurate spot prices, please ignore KITCO and go to my supplier’s web site, which is amark.com. Have a great weekend!
