satire is something i appreciate.
especially in news because it seems to say more than actual news,
besides the new has been so depressing lately, i've stopped watching it.
i read this article on Haiti
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/massive_earthquake_reveals_entire
and it was completely true, all of it.
obvs, not the part about Haiti literally being discovered, but in a figurative sense, it's true.
most people didn't care about it before when Haitians practically had nothing and now that the earthquake comes along and they're worse off than nothing everyone wants to help.
it's a good thing, but it's sad that it had to come so late.
i think it was a blessing in disguise, that earthquake.
it was the final call for help.
it got people globally to open their eyes to the atrocity that is poverty and act to end it, or at least lessen it.
but Haiti is only the beginning, and i hope people realize that.
it's everywhere and it should be addressed as the important issue it is.
