I think it helps to remember those of us less fortunate. Like this unfortunate guy, whose email showed up in my box six times in a row.

Happy christmas to you,how are you doing hope you fine and in perfect order.My names are James Morttey i am 16 yrs old and i am from DR Congo,i came to Ghana after the murder of my parents 2 mouths ago by hired assasin by someone i don’t know,before they got to him in the house he revealed to me that i should come to Ghana with the documents in a small box,if i get a trust worth foreign partner to help me make claim to the fund he deposited in an Escrow account in International Commercial Bank Ghana.The woman whom i am with now cannot read she is not correct and people around call her crazy woman,and she cannot help me in this matter,i am contacting you to help me as my foreign partner so i can get my life back,go to school and have a family that will care for me,i do know what to do that is why i am contacting you to assist me. Thank you.

People are trying to determine whether he’s this guy or that guy or what his role is in journalism vs. political activism vs. social activism.

I think I’ve got the final answer (and no, it’s not 42.) It’s actually rather simple.

A quote attributed to Eldridge Cleaver is, “Either you’re a part of the solution or part of the problem.”

Jon Stewart is part of the solution.
