(Not so #2) Random Entry

Yesterday evening, I was reading the news on radio-canada.ca and there was something about the famine in Ethiopia in 1984-85 - and there were some comments below the article that shocked me - so I decided to reply to some of the comments - and as I was doing it, I had in mind some names and faces of kids that I had met and whom I had developped a friendship with... Because of the maximum number of caracters allowed - and also because it wouldn't have been very pertinent in the end - I chose not to include any names.

This morning, when I opened my hotmail, I had a new message... It was a message of one of the kids that had been in my mind the night before! It is the first and only email I have ever received from any people from Ethiopia and it happened right after I clearly publicly took position for them... Isn't it more than a coincidence? It made my day!

If you expected a funny part to this entry, here it is: the members of the website can not only comment the articles, but also express if they agree or disagree (by clicking on the word) with each comment... Because it was my comment, I thought (without really thinking) that I could see the name of the only person that had disagreed (!!!) with me - by clicking on 'disagree' - but guess what happened? I disagreed with my own comment... Call me Mr Internet or Internet Genius!
