User:Mr. Billion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This page has been vandalized (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mr._Billion&diff=prev&oldid=15415890) vone (http://photos1.blogger.com/img/215/2600/320/Count%20von%20Count.jpg) time. Ha ha ha.
Mister Billion occasionally putters around with this "Internet" thing that the kids are so hot and bothered about these days.
The user name originates from a certain Calvin & Hobbes strip taking place in the classroom in which Calvin attempts to solve a math problem and slips into his Tracer Bullet fantasy world, concluding that the only possible "culprit" is "Mr. Billion."
As long as you're here, clicking here gives people food. (http://www.thehungersite.com) Go there, click the little yellow button. It provides a small benefit, but it also requires next to no effort, so it couldn't hurt.
It would be good to think about this (http://www.actionaid.org.uk/1534/press_release.html), too, though. According to a joint Action Aid/Oxfam report, only about a fifth of international aid makes it to where it's intended to go. (I'd be interested in reading the report itself.) Some wealthy countries have actually reduced (http://www.oxfam.org/eng/pr041206_MDG.htm) their international aid budgets since the 1970s. Perhaps a better way to help the less fortunate would be to petition your representatives in your respective Congress or Parliament to address these issues.
