I have friends who don't volunteer for anything related to social justice because they feel used by the people they thought they were helping.

Yup...they finally just wore me out.

I was watching the local news last Thursday. They had a segment on what they call "Secret Santa".

Local pastors give the names of needy individuals in their churches and this charity sends them an invitation to come to a local school and receive gifts that have been donated by local individuals.

The newscaster was interviewing a couple of the kids as they were leaving the school hall after getting their presents. He wanted to know how it felt to get these gifts.

The first child said it's great and he was very grateful to the people who had donated their time and money so he and his sister could have presents to open on Christmas day.

The second child said, and this is a direct quote, " it sucks because there wasn't an Ipod in my bag of gifts. I was told there would be Ipods for us."

He not only wanted but felt he was entitled to a friggin Ipod.
