I accidentally cropped out the flies

The young man in the picture is my new project.  To protect his anonymity, we’ll call him Hepbee because he probably has it.  The great thing about lil’ Hepbee is he was born in just the right place at just the right time.  If you’ve ever read anything by Malcolm Gladwell you know these things will shape the rest of your life.  That’s where I come in.  Thanks to Sally Struthers, I’m able to feed this young man for $0.25 a day.  Thanks to the One Laptop per Child program, he’s able to earn that quarter.  

As the bible will tell you if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, but if you give him laptop and a bowl of wheat he can find the best time and place to fish in Costa Rica, book you a discount flight and tour guide, and even email the cab service that will pick you up at the airport.  If we’ve learned anything these past couple years it’s that this economic crisis is not national, it’s global.  By picking an assistant with a solar powered laptop that lives close to the equator, I get a 12 hour work day with no carbon footprint.  

I think we can all agree that I’m a shining example of the change that’s needed in this world.  I hope more of you can follow my lead.
