Donations Anyone?

A quick note to sound off about this new found joy that companies and groups are having about asking every person and their dog to donate to one cause or another that is causing someone to go without their double double skim milk latte with a vanilla shot and no foam.  

Although I'm being just a little over sarcastic here, does it strike anyone else as a little freaking strange that 30 some odd percent of our population in Canada can't afford to pay their bills?  That roughly 40% of America's population is considered to be under the poverty line?

Why should all these people be running off trying to raise money for all the people dying in Peru or god knows where when people close to home are starving?  Freezing on the streets?  Like in Calgary, where all the crack headed Ontario-ites decided to head out west and now can't find work?  Even though everyone is starving for people?  Can you find a problem with this situation?

So maybe our governments and all the do-gooders that seem to have sprung up over the past five years should start focusing closer to home.  And leave the rest to mother nature for the time being.

Enough Said.

Ok I will admit that although I don't agree with all that you say, you do make some pretty valid points about things.
But tell me why there is so much damn complacency in this world, why don't people get off their fat asses and stand up for anything. We need more like you but where do we find them

I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I actually enjoy that most people don't.

As for the complacency that the majority of people, I feel that it has become an epidemic. There was once a song that said that only stupid people are breeding, and while we know that this is not true, the majority of stupid people breeding greatly outweighs the others.

As for getting off of their fat asses, I think Big Brother (10th Series) is coming on in 10 minutes.
