if everyone cared and nobody cried
if everyone loved and nobody lied
if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
then we'd see the day when nobody died
when nobody died...
thanks nickelback for writing such an honest song. and thanks to mrs. s (a.k.a. the girl with the camera) for tonights eye opening dose of reality. there's a world beyond the mall folks. and it needs more attention than your boots with the fur or heidi and spencers wedding. the ice is melting, there is a war going on in iraq, a genocide in darfur, an occupation in tibet, and on a local level your neighbors are probably struggling to put food on the table because the economy went to poo. so pick something to care about that is bigger than yourself. speak of and work for something besides where you went to college and the fancy things you own. if you want to advocate for honey bees and gay rights than do it. it's really important to stand for something. i hear that if you don't you will fall for anything.

Si Senorita! Amen! I have already started collecting for the Oregon Food Bank. I want to make my delivery the week after Christmas because donations tend to drop off after the holidays, as if people forget or are absolved of the guilt that leads them to give once the season of giving is over. Once you witness real poverty (like so many rural areas in the midwest, or even here in Oregon) it's hard to forget that you need to give all the time.
