Oh. My. God.

I have no words. I should. I'm ashamed. I'd cry for you but it wouldn't be enough. It wouldn't be a beginning. Even if you could drink my tears.

I know you are drinking your own, tasting them, soaking in.

Drinking in the cries of so many thousands dead. I cannot fathom that number. Entire villages. Gone. Two countries at war. I wish this would bring an end. I wish for you to cross the boundaries and help each other. Extend a hand.

Life is more important than hate. Another's life is more important than your hate. Believe that. Act on it. And heal.

1st: This makes FEMA look like a well-oiled efficient government agency.

2nd: Pakistan officials are being unbelievably petty.

There are some doomsdayers out there indicating that more and more of this is going to happen all over the world. God's answer to global warming, among other things. That doesn't make it any easier to take.

There are others who have a scientific basis to say that when a population of a species exceeds the environment's capacity to support it, the environment ensures that the number of that species is reduced in any manner of means. These same scientists can apply this theory to our human population and the global environment.

It sucks that this may be the case.

Given costs and energy supplies of oil, natural gas and electricity, there are even some households in North America which will not have sufficient heat this winter. Suffering is slowly becoming more widespread.

Tsunami, Katrina, Rita, Earthquake all within a year. What's next?

shenry: hm. I'll have to read up on what FEMA is doing...

Phil: if that were the case, I'd think the world would want to take out those who were putting the most strain on her--but maybe by sheer number, the Middle East is. But I would think areas with all the smog and cars and water pollution would be more of a threat.

Iri: I don't watch the news; I don't think I could take it. But it is interesting to get inspiration from reading a bad news story. Morbid, but interesting.

Ghost: yes, indeed.

Copernicus: eternity in a raindrop...beautiful.
