Save-the-world social software

poor pakistan
mistimed its earthquake tragedy
too soon after the west was all
disastered out

but any one of us
individually
if we had the reins in hand
would toss what resources we could their way
just on basic principles

which (basic principles) is what's gone walkabout
in the wide wide world

so i'm wondering if it's time yet
to start aggregating people's principles, online
like a political 43 things

with a budget-simulator that lets you
prioritize

and a crisis-news feed that keeps
shoving the world in our face

with a discussion area for each crisis
sorting out short and longterm solution-strategies

?
