please excuse my unsophisticated rant

Wake up! Wake up and realize that you have so much more than most people in this world. Do you have a job that you hate? Maybe, but 8% (and growing) of the people in this country would trade places with you. Do you have a roof over your head? Do you have indoor plumbing? Because the majority of the people on this planet don't. Are you upset because you might have to pay more for trash services? Well, maybe you should just be happy you have them because the many people don't even have the option of having basic sanitation services. WE ARE SO LUCKY! Now, do something about it! No, seriously, if we all just did one little thing, the world would be a much better place.
