Dave Mustaine Sells Coffee For Mexican Orphanage

Band Photo: Megadeth (?)
Megadeth front man Dave Mustaine issued the following statement on his official website's forum:
"I just wanted to take the time to inform you of my privilege to be able to make a contribution today to the Door of Faith orphanage in Mexico. Thanks to all of the Net Worth Coffee Brokers customers and 'Mustaine Coffee Crew Members,' we were able to come through for the orphanage again this year.
Like I mentioned in my post in the Members Only area of the Coffee Crew site, 'I wanted to take this time to point out to you the tremendous success that we have had with Net Worth Coffee Brokers, Inc.,' and 'inform you that we are able to make a sizeable donation to the orphanage before the end of the year.' We were also able to purchase a large order again this year from Elaine Hinton and our friends at Hasbro Toys."

We are all entitled to our opinions, but I think I might know why he would choose to help a mexican orphanage. I worked 4 years in the Childcare/Child-Psyche field. Our orphanages and Children's Home's have massive Gov't funding for food and housing, as well as many citizen run programs that bring money, toys, clothes, what have you, into these facilities. These programs also take care of seasonal spending such as Easter Baskets, Christmas presents, Halloween costumes, etc.
These arent a given for many of these orphanages or children's home's in Mexico. Many people are under the poverty level and money simply doesnt exist for programs to help these kids. While I am all for helping our own here in the States, these kids are getting something from a charity that they more than likely wouldnt get from their own people. Just my 2 cents on it. Lord knows I havent always been a fan of Dave, but I think his heart's int he right place on this.

People all over the world need help. People are people, we are all one and the same; just cuz those in need are not on our soil doesn't mean they can't ever have a chance at getting help. True, tons of people are in need here in America, but America has people who can do something about it if they really wanted to. Not all counties have access to help their own people, so it is up to kind souls (from anywhere) to do something about it.

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaawl. Really? America has WAY more than enough resources to put every child to school + 4 years through college. America needs help..lol. Society needs help.

Charity begins at home...not in friggin Mexico...regardless of how much money you think America has...we have similiar problems here cause the rich get richer and the poor keep getting poorer, but then again at least it didnt go to the Obama lovers.....scumbags....

Unlike American politicians, Mustaine is a citizen of the world and free to help anyone he chooses. I wish I could somehow package branded up and send him to the orphanages in Belarus/Ukraine/Russia, maybe then he'll see how out of touch he is. But I'm sure he'll work to put every US kid through college before he considers the rest of the world. You remember the world, right?

yes cynic, i remember the world, but they dont give a rats a$$ about us, so i feel the same about them!!!!! how many countries have done what they can to rape our country? yes the u.s. did it and now its our turn, but the freakin saddest part is, the fukers have paid off our own politicians to destroy america....

I would just like to point out that the so-called poor and desolate of america, would be kings in a place like mexico. I've worked with mexicans working for 6 bucks an hour, and were building a mansion back home on that money. Not saying I support their actions, I don't jsut using it to make a point.
Our "poor" are doin just fine. Go to Africa and see entire countries composed of AIDS infected starving chi8ldren barely survivng, and then come back to america nd tell me your bills are hard to pay. I know sh**s hard on the bottom rung of the economic ladder we live on here in the states sometimes, but from the rest of the world's perspective, we're complaining about smudges on our gold-paved streets.
I appreciaate what Dave is doing, but I think it's funny how he had to issue a statement declaring that he did this (hey everyone, look how much of a good samaritan I am! I'm the sh** cuz I help other people in the world! Pay attention to me!)

First off..F%$k africa! Let them die of aids and while were at it send the ones we got here back too, and let them see if there spinnin rims and rap music feed them. Our roads arent paved with gold here and many are losing there homes and are having a hard time putting food on the table for there children...we need to start taking care of our own first before we worry about someone else....can you truly tell me all of our problems are solved here in america?
Oh and the whole starving aids in africa crap sickens me....if your that poor and hungry you shouldnt have any energy to F^%K....SO PISS ON EM!

27. writes:
I think it depends...I mean Africa is worse off than Mexico. But parts of Mexico are worse off than we are. But...Could you really deny one starving kid food because they're American? That's cold to me. I think I'm exaggerating that point but...My point is poverty is poverty is poverty. Saddest part is, I think it might be inevitable. Someone has to be at the bottom of the ladder.

Your opinions are your own, and you are entitled to them. I see the point many here are trying to make. Still, I refuse to put anyone down for helping anyone. Is it for publicity? Maybe. Are there Americans here who need help? Definately. The bottom line is kids got helped out. Doesn't matter who or what or why to me. I was raised to show respect and pride in my country, but we arent the only people on this planet. If some kids got helped, Im good with that.
33. writes:
I don't defend the acts of dictators and politicians, I support the right for the poor to have basic human needs. A country is just a piece of land ruled by a select few, humans are humans. And America's hands are hardly the clean of blood in this "back turning" either.
34. writes:
Branded - you say that other countries have turned their back on america. Is this possibly because it is one of the most well off countries in the world and could take care of its own relatively minor socio-economic problems by itself? Do you expect third world countries to render aid?
No offense man but what you are stating here makes no sense - only a richer country could help america but there really aren't any better off in the world at this moment in time.
35. writes:
"ok he helped out american kids, thats good. but big deal helping out the mexican kids...." - That's probably one of the most heinous things I've ever heard a person say - a child is a child no matter which country it has been born into. Every child deserves love, respect and basic human rights, not just American children.

SO FUK THE REST OF THE WORLD AND IF YOU OR ANY1 HERE HATES ME FOR HOW I FEEL I TRULLY DONT GIVE A FUK!!!!
i have been stuck at home for over two months now due to noone hiring white guys. where is the, in your words, "respect and basic human rights"?? i know you were directing that the kids, but that goes for all humans, not just kids!!!!

its quite simple cynic. the people who are in control of hiring are hiring every1 but white guys here. charlotte is becoming a haven for racial strife and white guys are the target here. for example, i applied at hooters, and in the back were nothing but latinos, and in the front were 99 percent white women and a copuple of blk women. (thankfully no guys up front) !!!!!...lololol...
every place i applied is looking for cheaper labor so they can save money to make the owners get richer and richer. i have tried applying in other fields of work, but i have checked back only to see the jobs go to latinos, like you said, who work cheaper. like i said, not making this a racial thing, but its the truth here. some places are even requiring spanish/english speaking people only to be hired...WTF??!!...why should we learn another language just because they refuse to learn ours?!?!?!...its been going this way for years. our govt has allowed these foriegn people to come in work cheap, kill and rape americans, and get away with it. now, many jobs are no longer here in this country. its a slow trend to "spread the wealth" to other countries, and flush america down the toilet like a turd.
btw every1, send your money to north korea, they need it to help build their army up, and let their children starve in the streets...(sarcasm all the way on that 1) but thats another example. all this money going to other countries to help their poor, is being used to build armies, palaces for their leaders, etc. and we sit here and think we are actually helping do some good....
49. writes:
Not all the charity money sent is being used for that branded - especially not if the charities involved have people on the ground in the countries. Sure enough some funds get misappropriated but what do you expect in dictatorial situations where the army backed mob rules. It's even better when the money goes to things like well drilling projects or irrigation, because those projects have unbelievable benefits.
Also its not fair that you are not receiving work because of your race, or whatever motivations they have but the aid being sent out is buying vaccinations and schooling for starving dying children. I don't want to insult you, but its not like you're starvin or dying of chronic dysentery.
I know what you're saying about America solving its' own probs first, and if they put some of the money from the NASA or Army budgets, I think those situations could be resolved faster. But I'm sure there is some rationalization for this - economic destabilisation, or too much like communism or some bullsh** reasons.

also, IM, why send money to countries that the US govt knows is going to use it for reasons other than what they said it was for?!?! kinda funny!!!!

I live in Raleigh, and honestly, yes, it is as bad as Branded says. Worked 2 and a half yrs in construction before the market tanked. All my crew were aware of the coming changes so if anyone says we should have been more aware, trust me, we were. My problem is that the job market is now glutted with laid off contruction workers as well as those laid off from businesses related to construction as well. Lumber yards, caterpillar drivers, hardware stores, etc. There are very few jobs to be found here, and those openings are filled very quickly. I also would rather work than get my money free from the Gov't.
Also the "No Child Left Behind" and similar programs lower standards and urge teachers to pass kids simply on the merit of showing up. I agree with much of what Branded says. We do have problems in the States that need addressing.
I do stand by what I said at the beginning of the thread concerning the kids, however.

Two wrongs don't make a right. The U.S. has never jumped in to help anyone, ever. Unless absolutely necessary or if the homeland or any of its trading partners are in jeopardy. WW2? Iraq? The U.S. is famous for sitting idly by and doing nothing but benefit their own. Your complaining about not having a job because "every other country" is taking your job but aren't you sitting in front of a computer? Paying for Internet, electricity and computer maintenance? Besides, how did the government get involved in this? It's Mustaine selling coffee and donating money to needy CHILDREN. The U.S. is a country where you don't need to work to make money and your complaining about your own? Your/our own is practically fed through a sippy cup compared to others.

It may have problems, but hundreds of others fall woefully underneath and it's the children who suffer. Mustaine as a love/hate personality but is a guy who really cares.

I don't know how this turned into a 'illegals are taking our jobs' sort of conversation, but I honestly believe that this topic deals with the CHILDREN. For the sake of an example, lets say Dave helped an orphanage in America. It would be helping our own, but that wouldn't solve any problems that ADULTS are experiencing with our economy; just sayin. And a final note, Post 56 said it all for me.

I see a lot of your points branded, but I really only see them as being broad statements. How are their trading partners killing the U.S.? Tommy Hilfiger, Nike and Addidas are all provided to you by sweat shops from Indonesia, China etc. etc. because it is cheaper. But they are all owned by American shareholders. Also, honestly, How many "illegals" are raping and killing Americans on a daily basis? If they're are so many statistics proving this, how come the issue isn't addressed, and foremost, for these facts to be taken, they would have had to have been caught already. However, upon being caught, they wouldn't have any papers, and be deported. Right? So that couldn't really be true.

Yea I get that Branded and I completely agree that people should hire their own countrymen first, rather than cheaper foreign nationals.
But I do have to say again the money sent in aid largely does get to the people who need it, especially if organizations have people on the ground there. Sure the dictators are a problem, but without armed intervention, and we all know how that ends up, there is no way to stop them.

well, these "shareholders" get richer off those jobs being sent to cheap a$$ labor overseas. and all you have to do is search online for the statistics of the illegals and their reign of terror in america, or are you just not wanting to know or care about it?

This thread is a good example of why alot of people hate Americans. We have an individual who is helping out children in a country less fortunate than us, and we have people who piss and moan because they're not the ones being helped out. Im sure life is hard branded, but c'mon man, this had nothing to do with the gov't or illegal immigrants, it was simply dave helping children out that i guarrantee are in a worse situation than you are... yeah we do have problems here and it can be hard... My family is really poor as well, but im still able to go to college because of scholarships and financial aid paying my way, and i live in michigan, one of the most financially ustable states in the US. There are lots of opportunites in the US while there arent in 3rd world countries.... people that are b****ing about this are just cold-hearted bastards that are mad because they would rather be the ones getting help.

sorry about u not having a job tho man... me and my mom lost our house 2 years ago, but it wasnt because of discrimination, she had 2 sh**ty jobs that still wouldnt cover the bills

73. writes:
Intense thread! Gutter, you touched on a point that is important. This has nothing to do with the governments of Mexico and the United States. Dave, a private citizen, made a donation to a private charity. It's great that he has chosen to use some of his money to do some good in the world.
Also, it is CHARITY; it's not a loan. There should be no expectation of receiving anything, monetarily or otherwise, from those donated to. You are extending a helping hand to those less fortunate than yourself.
The assertion that the U.S. has never come to the aid of anyone is just ridiculous. The United States has helped countless other countries both monetarily and militarily (try the millions of dollars spent fighting AIDS and malaria in Africa and the Korean War to begin with.)
The United States does have a problem with illegal immigration. We feel it in places like the welfare system. But, certainly, most of these immigrants want only to work hard and make money for their families abroad. There are, however, a certain cross-section of illegals who commit "heinous" crimes; most notably much of the hispanic gangs in my home of southern California. Crimes committed by these people, especially rape or homicide, are much more regrettable because they shouldn't have been allowed to reside in the country in the first place. In other words, this crime was preventable.
And my last point. No one has mentioned the benefits of cheaper labor. Less expensive labor costs means lower prices for consumers. No one is defending brutal and unsafe working conditions, but, barring those specifically egregious offenders, is it not in the best interest of many people to reduce the prices of said goods and services?

Ok, well US government HAS helped international problems in the past, but that's really in the past. Where's the point in burning billions of dollars with the whole iraq situation while your social security and public healthcare sucks?? I dont even wanna go into the whole "Iraq this Iraq that" thing, but you know, Bin Laden's not there, Hussein got it, so where's the point now? If they wanna kill each other, let them. It's the way of the world. There's plenty of more important things to do with all those dollars back home.
As for illegal immigrants taking jobs... well, they are taking the entry level jobs. And that's a global problem (a problem... well more likely just the way of the world. In Europe, all so-called entry level jobs goes to the eastern europeans and people from the baltic countries)
And finally, my favorite topic, Dave Mustaine. He's a c***. Bronze medal, after Axl Rose (and followed by Phil Anselmo and Scott Weiland sharing the 3rd position)

Jamez- The reason why the healthcare system sucks in the US is because of the illegals. i live in CA and between 1996-2004 over 200 hundred hospitals were closed in my state alone because the illegals drained our system with their anchor babies and false documents. Who do you think ends up paying for their operations? The taxpayers like myself.
Treacherous J Quick- Unfortunateky the cheap labor usually equates to the consumer paying the same price, just the manufacturer of the item gets more profit by paying a bunch border jumpers $2-3 an hour. You think they higher illegals for the noble reason of helping out the consumer? Don't be so naive, dude.
NAFTA should be abolished.
I think the only thing that would make the lawmakers finally wake and secure the border is if terrorists commit an attack by sneaking in from Mexico (which they could easily do.)

Well if you are going to argue a point, you usually support your point with evidence. I don't need to do your homework for you. We don't need to help out Americans because they have the ability to help themselves. But the children in Poverty stricken countries don't have the resources to make a f***in loaf of bread let alone begin to think about looking for a job. This seems to be more of a chip on your shoulder rather than the entire nations shoulder.

Besides man, it's just plain economics. Why would an employer pay you $7 when they can offer it to someone else for less?

I hope I don't sound racist saying this though, but that's just fact. Minorities can survive on less pay.

Many of you have stated that you think its great that Dave Cumstain is doing this to help less fortunate kids abroad and while that is a really warm and fuzzy idea for this time of year many of you have disregarded the economic truth of the matter. Dave will write this off on his taxes as a contribution to charity. He will write off every penny of it and enable himself to keep more money come February. Branded needs work and is willing to earn his money which is a lot more than I can say for the illegal aliens that come here and churn out 25 kids and live off of our tax money and our system. I agree that Dave should have kept his money stateside because I pay taxes here and the more Dave gives to kids in Mexico, the more i'll have to pay in February. While I do understand that there are less fortunate children abroad (I have an adopted sister from Africa), I also understand that Dave is doing this for Dave. Nothing more... Nothing less.

I've just gained a lot of respect for Dave Mustaine on this one. He's a very humble man when it comes to his charity work. As for some of you readers, here goes....
branded -- Why is it such a bad thing if someone helps those in another country? Do they not need help more than we do? Look at Africa and Mexico, and many places in Asia and elsewhere in the world. Things are so bad, I'd love to go and help them out if I were fortunate enough to be able to do it. If you wouldn't do the same, shame on you. It's called decency, look it up.
TimW -- You're so ignorant, I won't even waste my time on you.
Blindgreed1 and Bruno -- Yeah, he might be doing this for a tax break, but regardless, he's helping out and doing a good thing.

TOG: we're going to have to agree to disagree on that one brother. I feel as though Dave is getting a tax break from paying American taxes. Keep the money here. Our economy is in a downward spiral right now and the more money we send out of the country; the more that will be taken from you and I. As I said, I do understand that there are less fortunate people on this earth, but that will always be the case. At this point I feel it would be better to keep American dollars in America. It's just one man's opinion.

1. Branded, I can't help but notice that you want to find restaurant work, a market that is hurting intensely due to the recession, which means less jobs available. You said you want work as a chef. Did you bother to ask the minority workers what they got hired as? Hint: they aren't all chefs.
2. "Keeping American dollars in America" has absolutely nothing to do with America's economy. The amount of dollars readily available in the system aren't an indicator of economic prosperity, the GDP is. Also, the only way your money goes overseas is by buying products from international companies, or by donating to charities. Don't want money to go overseas? You can start by only buying American-made, American-manufactured products. Let's see how long that lasts.
3. The cost of living in Mexico is less than it is in America. This means charity money sent there goes further than it does here. Also, building up foreign economies means they can become trade partners with us, something that increases our wealth. We get "paid back" in the long run.
4. Have any of you actually lived off welfare? It's not something you want to do for longer than you have to.
5. You can always complain about someone not supporting Charity X instead of Charity Y. As long as someone is doing something, it's a good thing, no matter the reason for it (ex. tax writeoffs).

Gas: 1.)You are incorrect when you say "the only way your money goes overseas is by buying products from international companies, or by donating to charities". Even American companies use foreign parts or have the assembly done in foreign countries. Look at Ford. A Ford auto is an American product assembled in Mexico and only 13% of the parts are made in America. That is money going to foreign countries. That is just the tip of the iceberg.
2.) Do we get paid back in the long run? You think so? I guess you've already forgotten how expensive gas was three months ago. Our "pals" in Mexico were reaping that profit off of us more then the Arabs were because most of our foreign oil (at least where I live) comes from our "pals" in Mexico. Mexico is already a "trade partner" with the US and in the long run I got screwed.
3.) No, I have never lived off of welfare, however, the people that do make a way of life out of it. It is much easier for them (as people of color) to receive benefits and live off of them than it would ever be for Branded (being a white man). I know people that live off the system here and i'll tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about if you honestly think it's harder for them to be on wellfare than it is for them to get off wellfare.

TOG: Are you or your wife people of color? That is the point I was trying to make. I never implied that it was easy for caucasions to live off the system. In fact, it's nearly impossible. Especially if you are honest about your situation. Most of the people who live off wellfare lie about their financial situations and reap the benefits for years at a time. They never get caught and in most cases raise their children to do the same. I'm speaking of what I have actually seen happen here, but I doubt it's different anywhere else. I am not a racist, I am a capitolist.

Blindgreed: On #1, sorry, I had to shorten my original post and misworded my statement. My original sentiment stands, though -- if you don't want your money going overseas, don't hand money to people that send it overseas. As far as #2 goes, that's one isolated industry, whereas I'm talking about investing money at the citizen level. Entrepreneurs start as individuals. I've seen examples of #3 in both whites and other races as well, but not without making money on the side (drugs, drugs, and more drugs), so that point can only be settled on a case-by-case basis. Some people are just into nonstop exploitation of the system and others, and this runs through every income bracket.
106. writes:
Gas: Oil is an isolated industry, on that we can agree. However, if Mexico was such a trusted "pal" they would have given back to the US during that period of insanely high oil prices but instead they chose to make a tidy profit for themselves and not help the poor little orphaned children that Dave used for his tax break. I'm done arguing this point. My family adopted two African girls. Brought them home. Educated them. One died and the other is in Iraq in the US Army. I feel as though we did something about the situation instead of using them (the children) for a tax break. I stand by my beliefs and back branded 100% when it comes to people of color raping the system. It is easier for people of color to reap the benefits of the wellfare system. You pointed out that often the users of the system make money on the side with drugs (of which I can not dispute). I say without their wellfare money they would not be able to set up and keep up the shop. I say without that drug money that they get every month from uncle sam, they may have to actually earn a living and get out of the cycle of wellfare.
111. writes:
So the unfounded assertion that Dave is doing this only for the tax break is made and then he is attacked based on this assertion? Unfair, to say the least.
And, although the country of Mexico should be responsible for its poor and needy, should we then use this as a reason not to help those people receiving none, especially orphaned children? Certainly in the case of these children, it was by no fault of their own that they were born into a helpless situation. I agree with the idea that no matter what Dave's motives are, the outcome is the same; some needy children received some help.

Treacherous: This is not an unfounded assertion. Dave will get the tax break. It's business in America. Nobody can control what you think or believe in man, so believe what you want, but I guarantee Dave will claim this contribution to charity.

When we refuse to see our own problems here in America and just choose to ignore them for the sake of helping someone else in a far off region...it gets me sick to my stomach. Alot of it is mostly a publicity stunt just to get attention, because obviously going to other countries those those scumbags brad pitt and angelina whorelee choose to adopt kids from other places rather then help our own children. I know of many childrens homes with abused children of all ages who need help here in America and it sickens me when these rich f***ers choose to take there money elsewhere instead of helping locally first.

The houses are being designed with an emphasis on sustainability and affordability, with the hope that the project can and will be replicated throughout the city, with the assistance of Global Green USA, a national environmental organization. Thirteen architectural firms are involved in the project, many of which are donating their services. Pitt and philanthropist Steve Bing have each committed to matching $5 million in donations.

Sorry, couldn't help but notice a couple of clueless d***s here, especially brandedcfh420.
Point 1-there are just as many-if not more-Americans raping and killing Americans as illegal immigrants doing it. Blaming violence in America on immigration is just f***ing juvenile.
Point 2-Mustaine, regardless of his motives, did nothing wrong in helping the children in Mexico, because yeah, America does have more financial resources to help the poor than Mexico does; we just DON'T DO IT. You blame other countries for taking American jobs when you should be b****ing at the American businesses that willingly go to other countries simply to make a profit. You wanna b**** about not gettin a job, quit b****ing at other people and look at who's responsible for the f***ed up American economy- AMERICAN CORPORATIONS and the greedy, corrupt AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. You blamin immigrants and the rest of the world makes you look like a racist, ignorant, stereotyping redneck.

146. writes:
Those american corporation and banks you are so eagerly to blame are jewish owned and run....but god forbid i point that out...everyone is trying to race rape each other in one form or another.....our forefathers came here for a reason...and last i checked, they sure as hell looked alot like me.....dont remember anything in history where they stopped off somewhere for gas and said hey...lets bring some of these savages with us....theyll help.....no they made technology happen within a 100 year period and made industry for this great nation....while others everywhere else fell behind the using there brain movement.
147. writes:
TimW just no - Americans improved on the technology created by the rest of the world - a bloody Romanian came up with almost everything needed for the jet engine for example - and just remember they came from Britain. They had the best possible start in a new world, and what did they do? Raped the land, killed the natives and generally caused problems. This is all history now of course.
Also stopped off for gas and didn't bring "savages" - SLAVERY anyone. f***in d***, they profited horribly from slave labour.
The industrial revolution started in britain and spread to america. They didn't come up with anything new, just took what had been made and profited because they learned from the others mistakes and had to pay very little for it.
After that, the only real advance america made was in computers, and this could be explained by saying that Britain and the rest of europe was suffering much more heavily after the world wars, and turned inwards more.
The thing is that Nazi germany made the first working binary computer.
Also one point - Al-Jazari and Leo DaVinci both thought up ideas for a lot of relatively new (as in recently created) technology, Jazari being an Arab in 1206.
So while I can see why branded disagrees with mexicans taking jobs etc, and even though i think the claims of rape may be true, rape happens anyway in america so i don't see that as a big factor.
But you TimW spout hate and crap. Other economies fell behind because they didn't have the opportunities America had throughout history.
148. writes:
I just want to point out something, although it might have been stated already...
How do they have all this documentation on illegal immigrants and their massive waves of raping and murdering, when the people do not technically exist in the system at all? How do they have all these records about an entire group of people that are causing problems in the economy simply for the fact that there are no records of their existence?
AND, I hear complaining that brad pitt and ms. jolie adopt kids from other countries when we have plenty of kids over here that could use the help.
Well, when 90% of the children in America are homeless, starving and dont have anough financial aid for education or clothing, then yeah, you have a valid point. As it is, our kids in dire need of help, have government aid, free education, a foster system in place to get them off the streets, and constant donations of free clothes from red cross and other charity organizatins. Still really sh**ty, but compared to failing crops, starving, constant military goverment takeovers, leaving the economy overal in scrambles, and no education sytem to speak of half the time, and almost never affordable in their countries anyway, our kids have the life of luxury. Our homeless kids sleep in beds every night; beds that indonesian kids would convert to christianity to get to share with their entire families.
Helping anyone in the world period is a good deed. to decry somebody for not doing enough, or not doing something else is foolish and retarted, especially when you probably do nothing at all.

These arent a given for many of these orphanages or children's home's in Mexico. Many people are under the poverty level and money simply doesnt exist for programs to help these kids.

While Im sure Dave loves any publicity he can get, the Holidays are when these kids get it the worst. American or otherwise. It's not easy for any of them. The hopelessness that comes with knowing the babies and toddlers will be adopted first coupled with the fact that they have no family at a time when family is supposed to mean the most. At least in our orphanages they can get X-Mas presents. Hypodermic affection at best, but at least it's something. In those orphanages south of our borders most are lucky if they get anything at all. Maybe a few orphans got some presents this X-Mas. I honestly couldn't care less about any of the people involved in this or their motivation. Believe me, I don't have many illusions about the nature of most people. But hell, maybe a stupid little Doll or Teddy Bear made it a little easier for some kid who thinks the world has abandoned him/her. That's really the bottom line. I understand most of what has been said on this thread, and why most of it is said. I do agree with a few points here and there. The world sucks sometimes, but maybe it didnt suck so bad for a little while for a few kids.
