Good Day Antidote

This is the Debbie Downer thread. Should you find yourself overjoyed, happy dancing, giggling, or just plain smiling, here's the cure.
Rage, rage against those damn bluebirds, rainbows, and lollypops, by bookmarking this thread for first aid.

Meh, kids are small, they don't need as much food.

In case you're getting giddy..

On the bright side, maybe the orphans will die of poverty and - ta-dah! Problem solved. Sort of. 22,000 x 365 = 8,030,000 fewer orphans. Oh wait. This is the GOOD day antidote thread. Never mind. I'm sure all the orphans will survive while the kids with families keep dying like flies. An excellent antidote to any sunny feelings I may be having at 1:41 AM on a dark and rainy night. Note to self: Get off Internet no later than midnight.

Too upbeat, can't have that.

I got first world problems.
Which means I might struggle for bus-fares, don't have a hoover or TV, only get books from the library, am a recovering alcoholic.

Watched this when it was broadcast simply because David Tennant (girlie hair was for Richard II - probably).

So, first world GD problems in my case.
Anyway, it made me read up on Sierra Leone.
Warlords, child soldiers - sometimes child hard drug addicts because of it, starvation, poverty, AIDs, raw human sewage in public, political corruption...

I got clean water. Friends who aren't addicts. Family still alive. And I don't go to sleep or wake up to the sound of gunfire. I can certainly skip some meals.

This is why I really only go to church to sing. Not meaning to make this a political or religious thread, but fuck being born in a shitty place. Just go on and fuck that sideways. Excuse my language.

I started giving 10 bucks a month (all I can afford on my shitty income) to Oxfam after hearing a report on Sierra Leone on NPR. I had tears in my eyes just listening to it. Yep, I think contemplating Sierra Leone (as well as much of the rest of Africa) could ruin anyone's Happy Meal.
