"If you can't track progress on a community or individual scale you can't tell whether or not your efforts are working"
Unfortunately, this is not a field for experimentation. People whose job is to take care of others can suggest this line of thinking, but to me, the problem is not to justify and pay those helping but to solve the underline problem. It is easy to say one thing and mean another. What are you fighting for? Your job, your career, your research, or do you really care <bold> beyong your own interest <bold> for the well being of all those people who are really suffering?
I would like to see an ancient greek thinker comming to one of theses rooms and wondering what are people talking about here.
