A charitable organization in Montreal conducted a “Stop the Hunger” function the day before yesterday. The function consisted solely of an enormous free feast, serving foie gras, mountains of expensive delicacies, and endless supplies of alcohol.

And this is why I hate nobody more than professional charity givers.
Why hate the givers and not the organization? They came up with this bourgeois display of arrogance and ignorance.

The whole phenomenon is beyond shameful.

It was a very polite letter.
