Schoolgassi

So recently I read about Andre Agassi's school in Las Vegas. He funded a school for underpriviliged kids in Las Vegas. This I like. One of the few charitable contributions that makes some sense. I also liked Warrick Dunn's helping young single mothers get decent housing. So not all charity is piss poor and retarded. There are some decent ideas out there. I wish every single sports superstar would do the exact same thing as Agassi. The majority of charity is trash but this school is good. I don't know what if any real affect Lance's Cancer foundation is going to have. His peanuts are nothing compared to government and corporate spending. It might be money better spent on education of kids who may find a cure later in life. Still though, all their contributions are drops in a massive bucket. Not nearly enough. Agassi's school may turn out a child better equipped to deal with the problems in the neighborhood but those are problems that need to be addressed at the same time. I'm hungry, I want some curry with coconut milk.
