And now you know why I don't donate money to bleeding hearts.

If I thought that money was going to something worthwhile, I'd probably send it out, but the thought that now, because I gave $0.30 a day to some kid in Africa, he's able to eat processed food and drink filtered tap water that could just have easily been boiled using a solar distillation tank... nah, I'm good. I think I'll keep feeding myself and not paying for 10's of thousands of dollars in ad campaigns.
