So I watched it and sure it may seem geigh to watch it but I was mainly interested in the work he is doing in Africa plus my wife wanted to see him of course.
The main reason I posted this is because of Brad's message that he tried to bring even though mainstream media was more concerned with such trivial things like his personal life.
For those who did not watch this interview, I will explain the message he was trying to convey.
The amount of money it takes to buy a cd here in the US, a child in Africa can go to school for an entire year. Imagine $16 paying for an entire year of education. That's a wealth of knowledge that we cannot even comprehend. These children have the passion and interest to learn about the world that they live in yet economic conditions inhibit such learning. There are over 2 million children in need of such an education each year. That's $16 million dollars per year to properly educate the children of Africa. That's pennys considering the amount of money that is spent and made per year in America.
Roughly 80% of the medications recommended for sickness and disease are used in America. The percentage in Africa is 95%+. The left over 20% that Americans don't use could be put to much better use where it is needed. We all know the reason though. It's because the pharmaceutical giants see no profit in such things. The sickness that is called corporate america is just that, a sickness. It thrives on peoples misfortune yet won't lend its hand when it comes to the most inhumane of situations. It's only mission is to make it's shareholders happier.
I know this may sound like one of those commercials asking for money to help needy children but seeing this interview made me realize that we do live in a country where we already hit the lottery. Just to be born in such a place is a treasure in itself. To have the opportunity to do whatever we choose is something that most in America take for granted. We live in such an ethnocentric culture, we think that if it doesn't affect our dat to day lives, it doesn't matter. I am writing this because because I think that's totaly wrong. We being born with such opportunities should be willing to help the less fortunate because we are all humans trying to survive in a ever expanding way of life. Sure, you can say that there are people here in America that are hungry and needy but like Brad said, the level of suffering in Africa is exponentially higher.
Elite in all it's goodness, should set up some sort of fund to help those in need. Maybe George can contact www.one.org and see if there is a way to donate yet gain some sort of publicity given the recent backlash the steroid community has incurred. Not only to shed some goodness on what we all do but to help others also.
