I have been keeping an eye on the news story of China and I am really distraught, really! These people and their families are in absolute distress. Daughters and sons, cousins, aunts, uncles, all lost yesterday to a horrible event. It is overwhelming and yet we must see it, we must be a part of it. Every one of us should but for a moment in time reflect on this sudden destruction of the lives of so many.

No one is immune to the staggering death and misery that out of no where has claimed so much, so many. The people of Burma have faces, names they are extensions of all of us and yet there are those who would deny them help. To deny an entire country wrought with devastation and needing enormous help is madness. I heard one news report sort of justify it in this way, 'The Mayamar government is somewhat paranoid and suspicious of outside help!' Are you kidding me? Children, pregnant mothers, people of every walk of Burmese life are facing illness and starvation of unimaginable magnitude. How can such a thing be happening in the year 2008?

Families and businesses, schools and entire neighborhoods are gone in many parts of the American Midwest. I could care less that Jenna Bush has a designer dress for her wedding or that one of the Bush girls has married. I really, truly don't give a damn about this particular event. Good for her, now get off my Television!

Now that we all clearly realize that John McInsane has absolutely no intention of being a world class leader; get ready for the total anarchy of a divided United States. In the face of the carnage going on in this world the last thing I want to see is a Presidential candidate kissing the butts of environmentalists as he tosses the election to Barack.

People need to help one another. Compassion for the loss of life should be on every ones mind. I am no liberal but my God look at the catastrophes happening all around the world people. Turn off your life for just a minute, one minute and say a little prayer for what is occurring to so many, world wide! If not a prayer, take a moment and just be still. We are all one part of the whole thing. Just for a period of time, put your self in the situation in Burma, or China and Chile.

Has the world's ability to broadcast the news instantaneously, produced a numbing disassociation to life? Please, let's not do this to our selves. Give a damn about what you are seeing happen to so many lives. Don't stop caring!
