Bearing in mind, the modern sanitary toilet has saved more lives than any other invention in the world, I was moved by reading of good news in an area close to my heart, and the bowels of most of India.
As the Brahma Kumaris sit on a fortune worth £15,000,000 in England alone, spending it on international business class airfares and chasing VIPs while they wait for the world to be destroyed ... and only their accountant knows how many $10,000,000s they have in India ... a Hollyood actor with no connection to India at all has co-founded a charity called water.org which is going to supply 1,000,000 in India with clean water by 2016.
Whilst the Brahma Kumaris spend their millions on luxury retreats, corporate conference centres and formal gardens for their middle class donors, 814 million Indians have no sanitation services. More people living in India practice open defecation than the entire continent of Africa.
Once dubbed "The Sexiest Man Alive", Matt Damon has taken on probably the least sexy cause ever; clean water and sanitation. Earlier this year he launch a celebrity laced campaign, a toilet strike, to promote it.
Damon's devotion to improving the access to those essentials in the developing world goes far beyond lending his name to the philanthropy, it has become his life’s mission. Using a sustainable model of loans rather than blunt charity, the cost of delivering piped water has fallen from an estimated $25 per person to around $10 per person ... for life ... meaning the Brahma Kumaris in the UK could give the life of clean water to 1,500,000 indians tomorrow if they cared less about chasing the rich and powerful and more about "god's people".
What the BK sh*theads don't realise is that the VIPs they keep chasing would come to them to thank them if they did so, rather than run, as they do, from a bizarre End of the World cult trying to deceive them into promoting their world domination agenda.
Of course, for the Brahma Kumaris sanitation is an issue ... I was once told by a senior Brahma Kumari Sister that when they rule the world, starting from 2036, their diet will be so perfectly in control, they won't even poop. That the Golden Aged BKs in India won't have excretory organs. A true story, it was BK Joan from London.
Their solution to India's problems? Donate to them, do more BK meditation ... and let the poor suffer. After all, "It's their karma".

Matt Damon wrote:"Do you know, a child dies every 21 seconds because they don't have access to clean water or sanitation and and women spend 200 million hours a day collecting water - once you know that, and once you see that, it is really hard not to do something," says Matt Damon, those piercing blue eyes revealing a passionate sincerity, "whatever you can, really."
