- We have an interesting juxtaposition of holidays, National Churro Day and National Hunger Awareness Day. There is no waffling about the former, because it is intended that we all run out and consume churros, today and everyday, in sufficient quantities to make somebody a decent profit. I really can't object, either, I really love them, especially Spanish style. The latter, of course, is simply an awareness day, pure posturing whereby we take official awareness of the problem and thus display our sympathy and empathy even though we have absolutely no intention of doing a damn thing to try to remedy the problem, at least not at the governmental level. - /rant
Of course, National Huntington's Disease Awareness Day is just another awareness day. I'm sure that those afflicted with the disease or condition as well as family members of such persons are thrilled that somebody somewhere is aware of the existence of their condition.
