open letter the twenty-fifth
You (once again) know who you are,
I wish you would read this, and maybe think about it for a little while. Especially the last bits.
I thought you knew better and it's kind of disappointing that you don't. But I think it's fixable. Please just try.
Love,
Karen

Really, it's a very good piece. It puts a lot of things into perspective, even taken on its own merit and not re: the situation in NOLA.
Please disregard, or at least, take with a grain of salt, the poor-upping that follows (there are links in the comments on Scalzi's site). It raises a valid point (first-world vs. third-world poverty) but the way it's gone about is crappy.
I always forget about John Scalzi's website and then someone will link to something he's written and I'll remember for about a week then the cycle begins anew. I've discovered his feed on lj, though, so that won't happen again. Triumph!
