When put in proper perspective, micro-loans make the insane amounts of money that go into the pockets of our CEOs (even those who are fired) and the seven figures that we're spending in Iraq every day seem even more obscene. How many other Ugandan entrepreneurs could be helped in a similar fashion by just the amount of money that we flush down the toilet each hour in Iraq?

Ten years ago she was still just a girl and already putting her mind towards giving back. She is articulate, polite, intelligent, and she totally keeps the pace of the interview from being awkward or boring. I LOVE HER!!! I think her and Ellen Page seem the most real in hollyweird.

But out of all the food/lifestyle choices out there, I think vegans are the ones I understand less, particularly when they ascribe to a Judeo-Christian religious philosophy. But to each their own and at least, like Leo DiCaprio, she practices what she believes without being preachy about it. But as for me and my house, we love our animal products and byproducts.
