I just finished reading a friend's journal entry about his spill on community service. The whole thing is basically him bitching about how few people do anything to help out the community. Here is the link:
Shinmas journal

So my question is...what exactly do you do Shinma? When is the last time you took time out of your busy schedule to help the world? I volunteer for several organizations and try to do a little. It's really hard for me considering I feel like what I do everyday drains all of the compassion and humanity out of me. I am by no means dogging what you are trying to say I completely agree with you (for once)...but think about your position and how the one finger you point at the world leaves three pointing back at you. Take this as a challenge. Stop on your way to work and pick up trash on the side of the road....sign up to be a big brother ( and spend REAL time doing it). Make your faithful readers proud to say that you stand for something that you believe in and have accomplished. I'm up for the challenge...are you?
