A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION THAN I NEEDED

While enjoying my breakfast today,as is my custom, I had the tv on for background noise....(for some reason after all these many years ) I am still not used to peace and tranquility. All of a sudden from out of the blue, the volume became just a little louder,which by the way the FCC says they are not allowed to do and the television stations swear on the holiest of holy things......the government grant swear they do not do , the increased sound level grabbed my attention and I heard that there are some poor, underprivileged children in Africa who because of the lack of a kotex don't attend school one week out of the month. At first thought I took it to be a ridiculous statement but once I gave it some thought I know realize that it is probably the prime factor as to why most of that most fertile of all lands is not agriculturally productive. These young ladies being deprived of a "complete education" are lacking the skills to make their lands more productive and perhaps during last months period they failed to attend that much needed seminar on irrigation or perhaps fertilization. This has the potential to bring continent wide famine and pestilence. Kotex company in its most generous manner has decided that for every box of Kotex that the affluent Americans buy Kotex will donate so much money to supplying much needed sanitary napkins to these deprived nations. I think everyone who believes in the greening of the world and caring about folks who don't have enough to eat or fresh drinking water should thank their lucky stars for progressive companies like Kotex. I suggest that you divert your contributions for your average charity's like Doctors Without Borders or Green Peace or Hope and instead go buy a box of Kotex even if you don't need them and if in fact you don't have a use for them you can donate them to Scouting for Food when their door to door campaign comes around. May God bless America and Kotex too.

Heh. Kinda like ol Gee Dubbyah is giving away billions to Africa to fight AIDS. I've always said let's take care of our own first before giving away that kinda of money. And if you think about it, we are always the first country out of all to help out with any disaster with any country or anything along those lines in the world. And what do we get in return from them? Nothing. We are the most loved and most hated country at the same time in the world. Think back to the horrible tsunami a few years back. We were one of the first if not the first on the scene helping out. Then when it comes down to stuff like Katrina, the horrible hurricanes in FL a few years ago, 911 what country came and helped us out during a time of need?

Im just sayin
