My apologies upfront to the liberal, tree-hugging bleeding hearts among us (you know who you are) but this is what is (again) PISSING me Off!!!;
I just saw yet another commercial on television for one of those "feed the poor children of Africa" organizations. You know the ones..some grim faced, nearly weeping woman or a guy with glasses and a scraggly, grey beard is in front of the camera going on about how these poor, helpless kids are suffering and don't know where their next meal is coming from and need YOUR help now. WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!
To begin with, why is it that children are so friggin special?? What is it with people that makes them consider children a more important form of human life than adults???? Why should I consider a child's life more valuable or more significant than, say, a twenty-six year old girl in Bolivia that has to prostitute herself to feed her seven illegitimate kids and four grandparents??? Where is the organization for them?? And what about the drug lord that has been devastated by the "War on Drugs" and had his cartel nearly dismantled and cannot pay for his wife's lipo and his hooker's apartment?? Why are they left out of all this??? WHERE IS THE EQUITY????
Every country has poverty. Worse yet, there are literally millions and millions of suffering children AND adults all over the world that have it rough. Who is the guy (or gal) that decides what form of suffering is more signifcant than the other?????????? |
