Fucking do something

What in the hell is wrong with people? I can not understand this situation. I can't get what is wrong with our country. I can't get why we aren't all screaming out that people need help! DO SOMETHING! Are the rich helping? Or are they sitting back on their comfy couches watching tv? Do they feel shitty at night? Do they cry themselves to sleep? Because I do! I can barely make it a day without crying. I am watching these people online and they are starving and dying. I just can't believe that this is happening in our country and no one gives a shit. This has been going on in other places for so long and I always just figured it would have to happen here before people would open their eyes and take notice. I guess I was fucking wrong wasn't I?

I talked with my best friend tonight. Our first lengthy conversation since The Bomb as she calls it went off. She has nothing left. She is about to leave with her husband and two girls to start a life in a town so unknown to her it will be like living in a different country. See, the thing about The South is that everywhere is a small town. You are born there... You go to school, get married, raise your babies and then die there. You don't really even go on vacation unless it is to somewhere else in The South. She is moving right outside Washington DC. Can you imagine? If you aren't Southern, then probably not. Talk about starting over... They have no food and have rented a car with all the money they had left in the world. They don't even have money for gas. I just can't imagine.

I am fucking outraged.
