A Booster Shot Against Cynicism

Not sure what to make of Live 8?

Still trying to figure out if you're with or against the cynics in trashing the former 'Knight of the Straits of Georgia' who hates Mondays?

Well, if you want a grown-up's view on the subject go read Matt St. Amand's piece.

Heckfire. If you just want to read some damn fine writing on the subject go read Mr. Amand's piece.

Double heckfire. If you just want to read some damn fine writing on a whole range of subjects go read all of St. Amand's pieces.

Here's an excerpt from the latest:

"Sneering cynics control our governments, stock markets, and entertainment. They have their say daily, and unquestionably would love to see the Live8 concerts flop. There is the self-important gobshite David Stubbs who gives his lame reasons why he won't be watching the concerts today. You see, people like David Stubbs believe that only easily solvable problems should be tackled. A message to all cancer researchers out there. Listen up all you social workers trying to make a difference one life at a time. Attention aid workers feeding the starving in impoverished nations. You're wasting your time. So says the likes of David Stubbs, who I'm sure it can be said never tried to solve any problem, ease any suffering, or aid any good cause."

See, I told you.

Now just go.
