Do this or I will come around and bop you on the nose no.3

The only good thing to come out of the MsScribe revelations affair has been that I have caught up with the details of the CharityWank affair, and specifically the health issues about a lady called Christina. The rest of it does not matter, but here is one person who, thanks to the wonders of private American medicine and insurance, is left in serious and life-threatening pain every stage of whose care sucks money from her family like Dracula. I am sympathetic to conservatives on a lot of things, but any conservative who wants to defend private medicine in the face of events like this is in my view a heartless so-and-so. However, never mind that. This lady needs help and needs help now. This is the address of her website: http://www.4christina.org/. I ASK EVERY PERSON WHO READS THIS TO VISIT IT AND DO WHAT YOU CAN. If you cannot give money, you can offer stuff to be sold on e-bay to raise funds, or even purchase items from Amazon through her rather than through any other source. Anything can help. But please, everyone who reads this, do something. And paste the address and story on your own LJs and websites. Spread the word. Get busy, dammit!

I was there during that time, but I don't really know a lot of what happened with msscribe and Gryffindor Tower (I am saving the charlottelennox for a rainy day).

It's great that the new publicity will perhaps gather some more funds. I'm already one of Christina's Angels from before.

Well, if you do not feel part of it for one reason or another (as I do because of the clashes I had with Heidi, ari_o and the rest), the thing is one heck of a read. Though mind you, you tend to become disgusted with your fellow human being as it goes on - kind of like my experience of reading Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee.
