Nelson Mandela's rallying cry for action against World Poverty contained some powerful and beautiful rhetoric. This section in particular:

"overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.

While poverty persists, there is no true freedom. "

Read the whole speech here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4232603.stm

Why do we so easily turn a blind eye to suffering that happens every single day, yet will send money when one-off disasters occur?
