• You might have seen commercials for this website and awareness drive called Join Red. Here is the link.

  http://joinred.com/

  This is the part where I comment all about the site and the cause. I don't mean to be preachy...........wait, yes I do. I just feel very strongly as to doing what we can to help make the world a better place. And doing something as simple as buying a product you were probably going to purchase in the first place can go a long way to making the world a better place. There is an endless amount of  causes out there and so many people that need our help that everybody should be doing their part to help others. We all can have such a large impact by doing something small. These companies that take part in this should be commended, they recognize that the world's problems need to be shared by everybody. I know you might be thinking "there he is again, on his fucking soapbox" and although that may be true, its also true that people are suffering and dying. The way I see it, we are in a war with death and suffering and my writing about this is getting the message out there and making people aware, which can only help. Stories like people dying of AIDS in Africa, the Darfur situation, poverty and natural disasters around the world are not getting the attention they desperately need. The media instead wants to dedicate entire days to Anna Nicole Smith dying or spending an hour talking about Brittney Spears shaving her fucking head, stories that really don't matter. They spend time on these stories because this is what we as a society want to see.  Meanwhile,  the people that need the attention and the spotlight don't get it. Also, this whole  thing is not coming out as I want it to and nearly as good as I am  capable. So,  just check out the site and I hope you will join me in making a difference.
