What's all the fuss about?

I'm not sure why the world is in such dire economic straits. There's like 200 million bucks lying unclaimed in bank accounts all over Africa. I get at least 2 or 3 emails every day about how I can help some poor finance manager in Ghana, Liberia, or Burkina Faso cash in on the millions of unclaimed dollars sitting in his bank. Really. Why don't we use some of that to ease the world food and gas crisis? Problem solved.
