i jus sat here and watched nightline (not something i do everynight and frankly, tonite was an aberration to the routine of things) with their program on child labor.
that we spend $40 billion a year on golf, and it would only take $4 billion a year to enroll every child into school, tells me that this is beyond bushite blame. this is human blame. harkin is a leader, and they interviewed him for the segment, which i thought was nice, and he was sincere in questioning our priorities.
then, i thought what would the rednecks say? "what do you want ME to do about it"... and rightly so. what can we do?
the obvious answer to that is donate money. i'm not up on which organization is best suited, but i'm sure it wouldn't take much on google to produce a good starting point.
but this is all lying in the new 'house' if you will, the vector of the planets must be having an effect on me. i've donated more in the last month or two, than i have in any other time of my life. i certainly don't have money to be 'throwing away' as some would put it, but i don't feel it is being thrown away.
take this kid i bought this candle from this afternoon. i'll bet i gave him that lift he probably deserved and made him stand up with confidence more, and hopefully garnered more sales. i wish there was a way of determining that. oh well, the best assistance is that from an anonymous source.
