once again, i've proven myself to be the black sheep of the family. my sister's been watching the world cup all day, meanwhile, i'm decidely boycotting it. school can be educational it turns out. i recently learned some disturbing things about Africa during this last week of school, and these things have culminated in me boycotting it (or not watching it.) i told this to my sister as she gave me the finger and turned the volume up.
why i'm not watching:
"the various levels of South African government" have spent FIVE BILLION DOLLARS on TEN NEW STADIUMS for this supposibly FIFA SPONSORED EVENT. the clefto-politicans that make up the "various levels of government" no doubt used the Angelina Jolie-advocated-foreign-aid to make these stadiums, meanwhile OVER HALF OF THE CONTINENT is on the "wrong side of the technological divide" and MILLIONS (BILLION) live in the extremist of poverty. they are the offspring of a vicious cycle which includes the disastrous effects of european imperialism and a line of many corrupt government officials put in place by the former imperialists.
