A few years ago I was taken to Kabwe (Zambia), it’s one of the most polluted cities in the world. The guy who took me here didn’t tell me anything about that at all. It would have been a definite dealbreaker! No, no, no, it would be all beautiful and pleasant, he said, clean air. Lots of water too. Nothing of that!

A lot of inconveniences for me, Gary. But I can live with it. Been there, if you know what I mean. But what was worse (and I would never get used to it!) were all those children suffering from horrid things like lead poisoning.

One of these days a little girl came by. She was suffering from amnesia. Later I heard the headmaster of a school saying that the lead poisoning causes a lot of problems in the city, especially for the children. I gotta give my props to all these friendly citizens who have to deal with lead poisoning. I still feel bad that I couldn’t help anyone over there. Do you know something we could do?

It was an accident waiting to happen that I get polluted too. Why must the weakest always suffer the most? I don’t see this fella getting dragged around the world!!! Very mad at the moment!!!
