Why blogg?

August 30th, 2006

I never joined the Peace Corps. I never sent my lunch money to the starving kids in China. I do love expensive shoes. All that being said, here’s what I know.

I know that just the shoes in my closet, the roof over my head and the car in my driveway put me in the top one percent of people on the planet in terms of material success.

I know that millions of people around the world die needlessly every day for lack of the things I take for granted: clean water, plentiful food, a convenient Walgreens and a means to get there.

I know that if everyone I know were to put in just a little bit of effort, lots of those people would not need to live those kinds of desperate lives.

If Bono and Bill Gates were life partners and they asked Oprah to surrogate a child for them, maybe it would look something like this blog.

Happy reading! Know better, do better!
