Her Infinite Variety

originally this blog post was going to be about my distain for children who aren’t mine, and who i don’t want to be responsible for. and, the fact that it’s a little bit ridiculous that children don’t call each other any more, and that parents find it absurd when children call to ask their children for playdates. that, and that children have to be instructed on every little itty bitty thing (in other words, andrew’s niece has no idea how to use the phone, and refuses to try, even though she’s nine. sorry if i want a confident child).

anyway, the real, sudden reason for this post, is the recent increase in product (red) stuff, such as starbucks’ recent promotion, whereby five cents from each (red) exclusive drink will go towards the global fund.

don’t get me wrong, i think the global fund is a good idea, and i’m all in favour of supporting Africans who need HIV/AIDS medication. but perhaps we’re a little too simple in our acceptance of the project, and its ability to create change. i say this because (red) lacks any sort of transparency, and any ability to measure the changes created.
