The world's luckiest country is the African country of Malawi. This is a place nobody ever heard of until Ms. Madonna Ciccone decided to use this country as her shopping outlet for babies.

Why would an American performer want to adopt a child from Malawi? Aren't there enough children in this country waiting to be adopted to a loving home?

This is the same thing Mia Farrow did and Angelina Jolie did. They really don't care about American children, they would rather help children from other countries.

I think one of the reasons is that here in the US the requirements for adoption are much more stringent and half the time these people would not qualify.

However, in Malawi and other Third World countries money will buy everything, even babies!

This is what I call utterly Un-American.

Madonna also funds six orphanages through her Raising Malawi charity and is setting up a school for girls on the outskirts of the country's capital, Lilongwe.

In New York they are closing a hospital after 160 years of operation. That is St. Vincents Hospital. This closing comes after they closed St. John's Queens Hospital a year ago along with another catholic hospital.

Closing these institutions places large number of people amongst the unemployed not even mentioning the lack of medical care for the affected areas.

But helping the people where one lives just doesn't seem to stir up any excitement to these celebrities. It seems Malawi holds more charm to Ms. Ciccone than New York City does.

The money she made was made primarily from the Americans. They are buying her Cd's, they are attending her concerts. How about giving some of it back by helping where she lives.

The same applies to Oprah. This woman made hundreds of millions of dollars here in the good old US of A. Why she sees the need to build a girls school in South Africa? Why not help here where it is needed.

If she likes it there so much why doesn't she move to South Africa? If Madonna likes Malawi so much why she does not move to Malawi? I am sure they would accept her there with open arms. She might even be queen there.

These so called celebrities don't know what to do with themselves. Money, it seems has no value to them. They are spending it like it grows on trees. Maybe it does for them. But society here is suffering from one of the biggest depression this country has ever known.

Going around and throwing it away in other parts of the world just makes no sense at all.

But weirder things do happen for the sake of publicity.
