My last post was about how the gay world is obsessed with being gay. It's getting on my nerves. Seriously, not everything in my life is about living as a heterosexual, but that's not the topic of tonight's episode.

Classic example for this blog: Angelina Jolie was one of my favorite actresses, even when she adopted her first kid from an impoverished third world nation. But then she started taking it too far and doing things for all the children of these other nations and American children (and British if you want to go by the fact she was born there to an English mother and an American father) got left behind.

Even my beloved Alyssa Milano went nuts over India's children. Julia Stiles is collecting money with a recycled men's collection of clothing for two South African schools. We've got project (RED) for AIDS relief in Africa and every manufacturer and service has got something you can purchase in bright red which when bought gives a portion of the purchase price to project (RED).

There's hundreds of American celebrities who reach out to poverty-stricken countries, foreign disaster areas, and plenty of non-American charities. While I believe it is all well and good to look out for little brothers and sisters of the world and try to help them get better, I also see the children and families here at home on American soil who are in as much desparate need as these others. Am I the only one who feels these people have lost sight of why or how we became this "great nation" that we claim to be?

The world essentially hates us and wants us out of their business. But we have to play big brother while the people at home continue to suffer. Like wives and husbands and children of slain soldiers. They struggle so we could help out some unfortunate person who wants us dead. And people wonder why our economy is in the tank and would call me unpatriotic for saying leave the world alone and fix our country!

Sometimes people believe what they want and there is no changing their minds. Even when you know in your heart and head that they are wrong. *sigh*
