Ok, I'm not really feeling up to a 'rant' blog, but, since I promised, I'll try, and you'll just have to excuse it if it's not as 'rant' as it's supposed to be.

Did you ever see those commercials on tv? The ones that say about the poor children of Africa or wherever? I hate those commercials. They make me feel so guilty. I don't have the money to donate to them. And frankly, as horrible as it sounds, if I had the extra 80cents a day, I doubt even then I'd send it to them. I'd rather give it to a charity that I know does what they claim; where I can see the results. Still, those commercials make me feel guilty for not giving. The commercials are right, the only thing 'wrong' with the children is that they were born into an extremly extremly poor family, and that it could have been me that had been born into that family.... And that makes me feel guilty, cause of course I'd want someone to help me if the situation was reversed. sigh. I don't think the charity would even take money from me anyway, because I'm under 18, but it's the principal of it all that bothers me. It's like they're forcing me to feel guilty, and to help the children through their foundation as a way to atone for my guilt. But it doesn't work like that. sigh.
