Richard, you have provoked lots of interesting and helpful advice, all of which I agree with. However, there is something else; why not consult your colleagues in political science and economics. You may find that the student is actually presenting a legitimate option that many third world countries or the South are seriously considering: reject aid, not of course in order to starve their people but in order to get away from the debilitating dependency economy and the social/cultural destruction that accompanies it. > I have one student who has gone a step farther: he advocates removing > all aid so that even more "third world" people would die of starvation, > malnutrition, disease, and the like. Indirect genocide, in effect. Mieke Mieke Koppen Tucker Bishop's University Director, Writing Centre Lennoxville, Que.
