It's Christmas Time!

Christmas Time.

Sorry to bring everybody down; I must ask though: has anything really changed since that Band Aid record was released all those years ago?

Apparently people are going to be shutting up for a day in order to somehow combat child poverty. That is supposed to be symbolic, and, to say the least, it really is, if not quite as intended. I suppose now would be a good time to discuss why the same tactics have been used to fight poverty through the last half-century without even coming close to solving the problem (or stopping it from getting worse, incidentally). But then, actually, let's shut up instead, that will surely do a world of good. Not that I'm necessarily complaining, it should be a relatively peaceful day.
