Moonshine or the Kids?
A blogpost response here: Poor People Behaving Badly?
Read some of the comments -- they are quite interesting.
another piece: Pissed off by Kristof
btw -- the title is just an alliteration, not an allusion to the KKK.

here's another story that proves that poor people are dumb:

I am writing from Conversations for a Better World , a social platform for raising global issues and finding solutions and am contacting you because you re-blogged the New York Times Article “Moonshine or the Kids?”
Next week we’ll have a question up for discussion:
*"What evidence do we have that development dollars go further if placed
in the hands of women?" *
Because of your interest in investing in women and girls, we would like to invite you to submit a short blog-post of about one page to our website. Just go to www.conversationsforabetterworld.com to participate. Feel free to email me at dar@unfpa.org if you have any questions.
We are exploring different aspects of female entrepreneurship, courage and empowerment. Increasingly women's contribution as workers, entrepreneurs and managers of family and communities is recognized as central to development. They are building schools and spearheading micro-credit projects. They are planting and harvesting crops, buying and selling goods. They are setting up small businesses and doing it for themselves and their communities. We want to create a discussion that is forward-looking and highlights projects and best practices around the world with women as the main drivers.
Conversations is running this topic as a lead up to Women Deliver 2010, a global conference being held in Washington DC from June 7-9, focusing on delivering solutions for girls and women and making maternal and reproductive health a priority.
We also invite you to share this e-mail with any e-mail lists, networks, or listservs you may have—help us get the word out about this exciting new conversation!
We look forward to your involvement.
We thank you for your time and effort.
Best,
Mahnaz
