<strong>Making</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>Million</strong><br />

"Yes, here you are."<br />

"Yum" said 'Electricity'.<br />

"What about me? Is it my turn yet?" asked 'Outreach'.<br />

"No. You'll have to wait."<br />

'Wages' trotted up. "Here you go 'Wages'. You've been a good boy. So patient."<br />

"What about me?" wailed 'Outreach', his tone becoming a little strangled <strong>and</strong> desperate,<br />

putting the audience in mind <strong>of</strong> a child urgently needing to pee.<br />

"No. Be patient!" Cake Girl was starting to lose it with him.<br />

Stationery, Rent, Cleaning, Travel Expenses all took a slice.<br />

"What about me? When's it my turn?" sobbed little 'Outreach'.<br />

"You'll have to come back tomorrow. It's all gone" exclaimed Cake Girl. And for a<br />

moment I could almost imagine I saw the faintest trace <strong>of</strong> a smile.<br />

The moral <strong>of</strong> the drama was: "If only we had a bigger cake!" Have you heard that<br />

complaint before somewhere? 'No, look, sorry. Ah, we can't get a clinic team to Namibia<br />

this year. We don't have the resources." It won't wash. While we serve ourselves first, <strong>and</strong><br />

resent <strong>and</strong> blame those we serve, the cake will never be big enough to go round. One <strong>of</strong><br />

the reasons the US has held back on funding the UN WHO recently is they spend 80% to<br />

90% <strong>of</strong> their revenue on 'administration'. This is shorth<strong>and</strong> for jobs for the boys <strong>and</strong><br />

conferences in the Maldives. All power tends to corrupt <strong>and</strong> without a guiding vision,<br />

absolute power will tend to corrupt absolutely.<br />

How many pious politicians bluster about their concern for the people, bleating<br />

plaintively about hospital waiting lists, <strong>and</strong> refuse to deny themselves chauffeur-driven<br />

cars <strong>and</strong> million dollar pension schemes payable after two terms in <strong>of</strong>fice? We may rush<br />
