Touching....

I occasionally browse around major news sites in hopes of finding something interesting, and I rarely succeed.

Today was an exception. I actually read a story full of hope for humankind that demonstrates that some people walking this planet actually care about others. What a wonderful concept.

To make a long story short, a woman who was in need of a kidney transplant mentioned her plight in passing to her local Starbuck's barista and the woman's response was to go get herself tested to see if she was a match. Sure enough, she was, and openly offered what was basically a complete stranger one of her ORGANS.

If this is a Starbuck's ploy to garner the favor of the public because of their wise hiring decisions, I will be absolutely disgusted, but that does not seem to be the case. What it appears is that one human being was willing to offer another human being a functioning part of her BODY and expected nothing in return but friendship. The fact is, I am shocked and amazed...pleasantly.

So nice to see a story like this after a day like I just had.

COOL
