Joyce – A Christmas thought
Whatever your political leaning, there's no denying that the time of giving is upon us, as heralded by its usual horsemen, the municipal lights and the piped carols.
If you're thinking about making a charitable donation this Christmas, and you haven't yet chosen a suitable recipient, allow me to offer a suggestion.

Joyce is a 16 months-old Kenyan who'll die if she doesn't get heart surgery soon... and she needs to go to the US to get it. I read about her on a travel blog site. Her story's very moving and I figure that if enough of us donate a few Euros, we could help this little girl get the medical attention she needs.
Read more about Joyce here... better still, make a donation here.

I know that you think you are doing the right thing, but you are only adding to the misery in Kenya. See The Inhumanity of Caring People.
Please think about how Africa has gotten worse since we started helping decades back.

Bernie, please fuck off. No one's interested in your pseudo-evolutionary racial theories.

Who's talking about evolution? I'm concerned with needless suffering.
