All hot and bothered.

I finished my paper for Sustainable and Human Development this morning.  It's gotten me all worked up.  I'd include it here, but it's long, so I'll spare you the agony of reading through it... though if you'd like to see it, just email me and let me know; I'd love to share it (not because I think I'm all that eloquent or anything, but because the research in it is troubling).  However, if you're curious, just take a look at these two sites: one's a good overview of the US budget and humanitarian aid spending; the other shows the proposed federal budget for 2011 and relative spending in various areas.  (By the way, did you know that economists predict the war in Iraq costing $1.3 trillion dollars by the time it's over?  Do you know how much less it would take to feed everyone in the world?)  Grr.
