2. I just think about the time it took to look up fucking DIPTHERIA DEATH RATES

Jun 2014

and post them. Along with TB and Dengue Fever and Black Hairy Tongue infestations in the sub-saharan tropical region from 1702- March 31st 2014.

And I think about all of the soup kitchens that beg for help. All of the hospitals that would love to have volunteers holding the hands of hospice patients. I think about how many winter hats for the homeless could be crocheted in an hour or two a day.

I think about all the time it took (lots) to post dozens upon dozens upon dozens of links to bullshit things used to deflect, and I think about the effort it took (not a bit) and I realize why someone would choose to google-troll than to volunteer at a shelter, or a hospice, or help the homeless, or assist with adult literacy programs: those things take effort. Google-bombing is like praying: it's LITERALLY the least you can do in a situation. Why help someone with a real issue when you can deflect from ones you've made up in your mind. All in the comfort of your La-z-boy, with the AC set on 64, and a sweaty glass of iced tea no more than 8 inches from your grasp.

And for the concern trolls who are like HIPOCRIT WHAT YOU DO YOU TYPE NOW YOU LYAR HYPPOCRYT Y YOU NO VOLANTEAR? well, sweets, point to a time where I've made dozens of posts over dozens of hours on ONE subject and then we can talk.
