to: greenpeace people and their other-organization counterparts

dear people from organizations that stand on the street trying to eat my monies,
"ma'am! do you have a minute to fight global warming?"
...what you REALLY mean is "hey lady, give us some money to feed your guilt about ruining the environment." see, the thing is, i DO have a minute to fight global warming. i have a whole lifetime to fight global warming. and i WILL by doing productive things like refuse to use pesticides and aerosol cans of hairspray and other activities of that manner. what probably won't help is me giving you a dollar a month or more "if i can give" so that you can...what? do more SCIENCE? isn't science how we lost the o-zone layer in the first place? ...but i digress. what REALLY gets me is the "starving children in africa" people. uhhh...you're standing on every street corner in BOYSTOWN. have you noticed the homeless queer youth of color wandering the streets and being harassed by police while their older white, rich, gay men and women try to ignore their existence and keep them out of their perfect neighborhood? how about you stop campaigning for african children that you have never seen and will never have a connection with and OPEN YOUR EYES and look at the starving children of african descent in your own country, on the street that you're standing on?
oh, but the suffering is so real when it's right in front of you! guess you should put your all into it, if you really want to change the world, or not put anything into it at all.
