Donation Follow-up

Apparently not everyone on the list serve was amused by the offer to donate a collection of 50 Playboy magazines.

I received an email from the business behind the list serve (they are rather prominent in the community) profusely apologizing for any "inappropriate" offers that were made without their knowledge.

Still, as "offensive" as some people may have found the offer, I find it far less offensive than the rubbish many people try to pawn off to charities: broken appliances, clothes with holes ... honestly. Just because people are down on their luck doesn't mean they want to dress in rags.

Just Stop It!

People, stop killing other people!

This means you, World.

Honestly. I just read an article in Ontario, Canada's Hamilton Spectator. Yesterday gunmen shot and killed THREE CHILDREN who were on their way to school. Their father is an intelligence officer who is considered an "enemy" of Hamas. The father wasn't even in the car (so much for Hamas intelligence).

Three, six, and nine. Dead. Just like that.

There will, of course, be more violence to follow.

Hundreds continue to die every day in Darfur. Bombings in Baghdad killed and wounded over 300 people.

How is this supposed to solve anything?

Here's some more lingo for you: carnage.

Stop it, people. Grow up.
