"Well its been a busy week out there in Mundus land. We're seen the first trip by the new big Hougan, Emperor Benson, to a foreign land and didn't he start that trip off nicely. The man looking all dapper in his made to measure suit speaking with the media just how the boss should. He then gave due respect to the Loa by offering them that goat. Now to those out there in TV land you saw the one goat go down, its blood upon the stone. The Loa they would have lapped that up and blessed us multiple times over, respect is due where respect is given. What you did not see though was what happen next. The cameras got their 10 minutes of stuff for the nights news, those across Mundus will see us killin them goats and roll their eyes but what happens off camera is just as important. Five minutes after that goat goes to the great beyond its carved up, its meat sent down the road, the Aluhampton Centre for Dementia, that right, a home for those losing themselves to this evil, wickedness. It's a home that like many other hospitals struggles to make ends meet, and now at least for a few days its spending less on providing good wholesome food for the people, if that's not a great thing for the Loa to do then what is?
It's hospitals I hear that take the man Benson to Seaforth, a land of Mc this and Mac that, culturally as far removed from the islands here as you can imagine, I mean a like a grass skirt as much as the next man but no way would I be wearing a kilt thing in the snow, boys be crazy there. What they ain't crazy with though is the spirit of charity, to build a hospital for the lost sheep of Zimalia. Those ancestors of ours were dragged from that land and through the warrior spirit broke them chains, robbed them boats and wham! landed right here in a tropical paradise. But we put from our minds them people back in Zimalia. Corruption, the old tribal ways, foreign sneakiness, it all turned them on each other and kept them downtrodden. But now us and Seaforth, a hospital we'll give them, at least that's the plan. Its a plan I approve of, we all approve of and yes we need a few more here in Paracambi but the Loa need sacrifices to help others and so if this new building helps turn just one soul back to the Vodou then its ok with me. Good on you Andy and Benson, you go build that hospital, a building with the power for good.
Not all buidlings be for the power of good though. That Seleucid man, Akakois, he be building for the Gods of his. A great big glass temple, he's building it so high the man need only take a step ladder on the roof and he can step into heaven. That ain't the way though. Surely his Gods be looking down and thinking, man how many hospitals could that build, how many starving children could that feed and man how many school could that open. It's my problem with all other religions I see, the Catholic Church, it goes round Mundus tossing out billions at any chance. The Freestone Abolitionist Society, I love each and everyone of those crazy Morelanders, but it don't need no billions. It's a group of young Morelanders sat in an office pushing some paper around, you want to do good with your billions, throw it the way of the people of nations like Cabbagelandiet, Zimalia, hell even Uppsala still needs to get its feet back under them. The FAS, well it got those Morelanders bank rolling it. What we have is virtue giving, anti-slavery is an incredible cause, the Catholic Church they get slammed about it, so Pointed Hatted Pete what does the man do, throw money like a crazy aunt at a wedding. Now the brother can say he's helping fight slavery, but a rifle can only fire so much ammo so why give one soldier all your bullets while others have just a bayonet. The fight to make Mundus a better place is one that needs well equipped moral soldiers, and I don't mean no gun toting folk I mean people willing to do good deeds, to fight for the small guys, to do that we need to seek out smaller groups, build them up. One mega group is fine and dandy, but imagine what could be achieved by hundreds of medium sized groups active in all nations. It'd be like a tsunami evil couldn't build a dam against. That's what nations need to do, not go big, not go showy, be like Benson, pick your cause and help it everyday in a small way.
That is all for tonights show, unless you lovely people out there have any questions.
