let this sink in
"For half the world's population the brutal reality is this: You'd be better off as a cow. The average European cow receives $2.20 a day from the taxpayer in subsidies and other aid. Meanwhile, 2.8 billion people in developing countries around the world live on less than $2 a day."
-Charlotte Denny, economic correspondent for The Guardian, putting the global economy in sharp perspective.

(yes, I did mean 11th month but my brain had a massive blip in the radar)
Me again. One thing I forgot.
Ashley had a mix CD that we listening to and on came a song that she was telling me about as though it was given that I wouldn't know.
However, I knew everyone of the words. Surprised her a bit. The artist? Rick Ashley (is that his last name? I know just about all of the songs (thanks to you) but I am no longer sure of his last name.
Oops.
Just made me think of you. ^_^
