Sea of Sadness

I have decided to boycott the news, at least the news from television.
I can't handle the way our media treats things as if they are novelty. We are talking about human beings... why are we not able to show our own citizens the same compassion we showed the victims of the Tsunami?
It is breaking my heart.
What else is breaking my heart is how the despair has turned people against each other. What does beating and raping someone solve? Does it make you any less thirsty, hungry, or desperate?

I am just beyond relieved Beth is somewhere safe. But her life is lost as are millions. I can't imagine. I wish I could fix it but I am one person. So I am going to start small. I am going to give Beth stuff, find her a job, and offer up my home.
It is the best I can do right now.

Now if everyone had that mentality - just imagine the good we do for those poor, suffering, people.

Remember to be thankful for where you are and what you have.
Especially right now when there are so many without.

And now for my political commentary:
And vote democrats next time for Pete's Sake!
No more Bushes!!!
If we had the boys in Iraq here instead of there just think of how much chaos could have been prevented?! It make things even more painful...
