Third World Debt Relief
An estimated 10,000 people descended upon World Bank and IMF meetings in Washington last week, demanding debt relief for impoverished Third World nations. What do you think?

"No fucking way we should let them off the hook–I want back those 80 bucks I lent Honduras."
Lee Doane,

"Damn. I wish I had known about this debt-relief argument when Ferndale State Bank repossessed my Ski-Doo."
Jennifer Sims,
Student
"I'm doing my part to relieve Third World debt: I always order the Botswana Breakfast Blend at Starbucks."
June Ritchie,
Florist
"I can't believe these Third World nations think they can just rack up all these international debts and never be expected to pay them back. The U.S. could never get away with something like that."
Fred Singletary,
Systems Analyst
"I agree with the EMF protesters. The musical atrocities committed by this early-'90s British dance-rock quintet are truly unbelievable."
Jim Palmer,
Baseball Great
"With World Bank rates at an all-time high, it makes more sense than ever for Africa to consolidate its debt with a treasury certificate from 1-800-LOAN-YES. Hi, I'm Hall Of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer."
