I've not seen the special yet, so I won't be judging what was on the show. I'm judging your responses to the show.

This isn't the first step on the journey. I've had this in my signature for a long time, but it certainly applies here. "Though the first step is the hardest and the last step ends the quest, the long steps in between are certainly the best."–Gruffi Gummi, Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears. This isn't our first step. The journey has lasted 20 years now(though few of us have been a part of it that whole time). This isn't the last step. We still have a really long way to go. This is definitely a long step though. Lets appreciate it for all it is.

Let's put in perspective what happened here. We needed to get somewhere and we hitch-hiked. We borrowed a ride from complete strangers to get where we needed to go. This was a dangerous move because you never know is going to come of it. All things said, the general response would show that it was a positive experience. Yes, we sat in the back seat for most of the ride. Maybe they dropped us off a little sooner then we would have liked. But the point is we are much closer to our destination and no worse for the wear. It was alot better then walking the whole way on our own. If the opportunity arises(lets hope it does), I say we take the next car to pull over and see where it takes us.

Finally, about the news of this becoming an annual thing. I never even imagined that being a possibility. I thought, this is a great thing to celebrate 20 years then its back to trudging along. will.i.am you impressed me yet again with your generosity. I love the fact that he is choosing to do this with his money. I hope other celebrities choose to help with the expenses in the future. It'd be great to see a group of celebrities that "get it" the way will.i.am does.
