chief

Could the presence of a Best Buy be a sign of a "developed" nation?
It's full of things that you don't "need" or can't afford if you're poor.
I know it's a big temptation of mine...all those movies and cd's and ipod accessories and digital cameras and printers and computers and big screen tvs...

things i can totally live without and, yet, seem to snatch up (the smaller items anyway...) like they're food!

I recently decided to sponsor a child through World Vision. This will take $35 from me a month. When I think about it on my summer paycheck, it seems like a lot...but then I just went and spent $25 on dvds!!!

I told myself that I would watch how I spent my money so that I could put my Brazilian child first...



people are selfish.
Americans are selfish.

and I am their chief
