and crying. and seeing ds in all of the starving childrens' faces. and knowing that it isn't nature to blame but every one of us. i know i'm always doing this, but i just feel so awful about the state of the world at the moment.
the famine in niger was predicted years ago. we obviously on a governmental level haven't given a toss.
we worry about being blown up by a terrorist. we tolerate a world where people are starving to death. we wonder why people are angry and hate-filled at us at the west.
i had really good news today. we exchanged on a house ending a long process of house hunting and i can't feel anything but over indulged and despairing. and so angry.
we spend billions on slaughtering civilians in iraq. and begrudge pennies to africa.
i don't even know why i'm posting this except that i don't know what to do with myself.
