So I was watching tv the other day and a feed the children commercial came on. Instead of the sad pictures of hungry kids from some backwater country looking into the camera crying with a voice over stating how horrible it must be to not have food or clean water...NOW it has a catchy song behind all of that and it tells you as it always has that for less than $0.80 a day you too can stop hungery for lil Chiquitabonita.
My question is this why is it that in all of these videos that we are made to feel bad about a child 10,000 miles away that didnt get to eat, go to school or have adequate healthcare, yet probably somewhere downtown there is a child that didnt get those things either?
I think that while it may sound cruel and harsh but we need to look out for the people we have here in America before we start handing over our money to help those in other countries. We have a responsibility to take care of our own people first.

Hind Sight is 20/20
In the begining, like many I was taken by Obama and convience that he and his plans would change America for the better. The arguement remains that he was voted in for his race by some and white-guilt by others, but in the end race played a larger card than what we like to admit.
But for me I voted soley on the fact that I honestly thought that we would get the things that were promised..maybe not all in the first year of his presidency but within his term.
Now I see that like many Americans we were doped by a particularly good snake charmer. The only thing I can do to back my mistake is that as an American I used my god given right to vote and yes I fucked up...royal.
Mickey Mouse would have made a better president than Obama.
So to the American People I say this " I am sorry"
Like many others in these trying days I believe that the man many of us saw as real change...will indeed be that catalyst that makes real Americans (not those mindless sheep who follow so blindly) take up arms and fight those in power and take back what is ours.
But that is a rant for another post my friends.
Till then.
