It's just accepted as a good idea to donate money or supplies without questioning whether actually you're doing more harm than good. an African Economist pleas for the Aid to Africa to stop: http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,363663,00.html quoted from article: "Africans are taught to be beggars and not to be independent. In addition, development aid weakens the local markets everywhere and dampens the spirit of entrepreneurship that we so desperately need." and "No one in the low-wage world of Africa can be cost-efficient enough to keep pace with donated products." Donating nets puts local entrepreneurs out of business. Why create and sell nets when people are getting them at heavily subsidized or free prices? yea slightly off topic I know, but someone had to bring it up.

And why do I think that? Because it just happened to me as I went to follow him, and I don't particularly care about becoming a Sim, it would just be fun. But some people would really care about that, and so would wait to follow him until they think they can be the 1,000,000th.
