Most charities are a scam. Those that are genuine face the difficulties that live aid did in the 80's. Great intentions, but corruption at every step so that the aid has disappeared to nothing by the time it gets to those that really need it.

But then, we still end up with starving/dying people, so its really hard to say no to providing aid when its desperately and urgently needed
