What a brilliant idea! IDOL GIVES BACK... means that not only will your votes last night for your favorite AI contestant, but also your picking up the phone tonight to donate a dollar or 2..10..or 20...a hundred...or whatever you can will help soooo many children...in poverty here in the USA as well as in Africa.

And if you've been calling (1.877.436.5243) like I have and the line's busy...keep trying...or go online to www.americanidol.com and make your donation.

If you're like me, you are absolutely moved by the stories being told tonight on AI. Just think of how fortunate most of us here on myfoxdfw.com/blogs are--whether it be in health, finances or spirit!

I challenge you...to pick up the phone...donate...and help others in desperate need!

I guarantee what you get back...will be priceless!!

In my opinion, the Idol Gives Back show last night was another shameful, disgusting experience by the media portraying poverty stricken Africans with life threatening disease to raise money. I have seen and read about poverty stricken Africans with life threatening diseases for over four decades; the only positive results from these fund raising efforts are: increasing the African population; spread of more disease; and increase in poverty. There are poverty, diseases and social issues in America that needs to be addressed. Katrina victims are talked about and treated like they do not belong to the American society. Take a trip to South Dallas or New York City to see the amount of homeless, sick, and poverty stricken people with life threatening diseases that need help.
In Africa, if man can have multiple wives with an average of fourteen to fifteen children, I think they should be able to help themselves.

I totally agree, I can't tell you what was going through my head seeing the different clips on Idol last night of the wife or girlfriend with 6 or 7 hungry children around her, when here I am trying to feed one. I not toally ignorant and believe in helping your fellow man, but to put money my hard earned money in someone's hand who'll just take advantage of it and end up pregnant with more children so they can air another show like this and make me feel guilty for not giving enough. Not gonna happen! I can't tell you how acessable birth control is these days! Some companies even give out free samples!

It is so exciting to share my thoughts with YOU through MYFOXDFW.COM and to read all about what YOU have to say about practically any and everything--from family, politics, and games to FOX4NEWS stories. Our blog on MYFOXDFW sets us so far apart from other tv news station blogs because MYFOXDFW is just that--it's personally YOURS & mine. It's another great way for us to communicate...for us to get to know one another. In fact you can think of me as your own personal FOX4NEWS/MYFOXDFW BLOG CORRESPONDENT. So feel free to leave me a comment(s) on my blog at "BARONVONBLOGLOG"...hmmm maybe that should be the name of the tv segment? At any rate there's so much more (ie. photos, my hobbies, etc) that I'll be sharing with you from Baron's world in the days and weeks and years to come. I look forward to hearing from you.
