Fun story.
Last summer, I wrote a topic paper advocating that the high school debate community debate Africa for a year. You can find the paper here:

Today, while researching, I came across a newspaper in Africa that was eerily familiar:
http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/develop/africa/2006/0723poverty.htm
Lesson of the day? Don't plagiarize, kids.
