I’m tempted to see if refreshing the page will give me the inside scoop on how to add three inches to my equipment, make a hundred bucks an hour stuffing envelopes at home, get a master’s degree online, and create a perpetual motion machine from the parts of that junked car on my front lawn. I mean, if I’m going to get that solar panel done in one day, I might as well find something to do on Sunday!
So while your initial reaction might have been to gasp in shock that anyone could be so heartless toward victims of a horrific natural disaster, I think it’s far more understandable when you realize that these people have probably already given tons of money to Nigerian princes-in-exile; in fact, that’s probably where they developed a suspicion about foreign black people supposedly needing money to begin with.
