We can say god's plan is to give this kid some kind of attention, but the real issue is at step 1 when the child was conceived and fucked from that day forward. That was the plan from step 1. Step 14 is that he's in a place where he can love and be loved... step 1 was the most fucked thing that could have happened... and it did... and whatever is in charge - or whatever process is operating - is fucked, and sick.

At least someone else is as pissed as I am, or confused or just aware and willing to be honest about how shitty life can be. I wrote my grad school admissions essays on how frustrating it was to hold a dying baby in a filthy orphanage in Ghana, or meet an autistic child in Indonesia who was, like the little boy in your post, treated like an animal because his parent's didn't understand him. I guess I believe on some level that with a law degree I'll be able to change something on a larger scale for the better. Hearing these stories and having similar experiences has made me feel so distant from others. When I get back to NY from traveling no one really cares to hear me rant about how fucked up things are....nor do they care to have me rant about the ridiculousness that goes on in the US. Anyway, thanks for this blog. I don't think its strange. I wonder why more people aren't freaked out by all the crap that goes on in the world.
