"Nothing we can do. Might as well just live it up."
Meh. A very good friend of mine is now working for UNICEF and it is his job to ensure that the money is getting to the children and not into the hands of the corrupt. He retired from a good paying safe job in Canada to go over to Africa. At his retirement party (he worked for me) I almost begged him not to go over as it is very dangerous. Right now he is making sure that UNICEF's money is NOT going to the corrupt bureaucracy.... I admire the HELL out of the guy. I know there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and I don't know what side of the line he is on.
Some people are willing to put their life on the line to help others. Some will say "meh, what's the use?".
