"Aid should be given, without strings, at state level, to the tune of many millions, not left to the public conscience, because, next week, we'll have something else to think about, and then the starving millions can just go fuck themselves."

In an ideal world yes I agree with you, but in the real world no it doesn't work like that... I work for a homeless charity that deals specifically with heavy drinkers and we have to beg like buggers to get cash. We have had our funding cut to such a small level by the Government, for then next 3 years, that without public donations our homeless charity would have to shut hostels making people homeless all over again!!

Charity relies on the generosity of people with money, no-one is forcing anyone to give money. But it's nice if sometimes people do!! :o)
