sorry people no witty cynicism today. i have not posted on this until now because still in the back of my mind i have just been able to talk about the horrors that have occurred in china. for those who dont know a week ago a record setting earth quake hit china and caused the death of tens of thousands of people. including the aftershocks it has a body count of 96,000 people and reporters say that that number could double in the next few days. it is over 10 times the number of people that died in new orleans in hurricane katrina and 48 times more than those who died in 9/11.
the worst part is, the part that has kept me in a sullen unpleasant mood for the last few days, the part that has rocked me so much it took me this long to talk about it was the response. i hear people worrying about the olympics and i say, hell to the olympics, as much as i would love to see them i say any money being spent on that should be diverted to rescue squads.
or i hear, the chinese goverment needs to learn their lesson. who are these animals who believe that any higher power would kill 100,000 people to teach someone a lesson. i dont care if it was nazi germany no god of mine is killing 100.000 people to teach a lesson.
and finally and mabye the most shocking, yahoo news, front page news story,
See Ellen’s emotional wedding announcement. then in the side bar “chinese rescue workers uncover bodies”… a talk show hosts wedding, then 100,000 deaths.
the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness is overwhelming, i just wish it would end
