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.
