An Update, Finally

I haven't updated this in a while because nothing has happened. However, I found a site here:

http://tsunamihelp.blogspot.com/

That is set up to help with the Tsunami disaster (somewhat overshadowed right now by the disaster in New Orleans). The idea that website presents at the top is that everybody with a blog does something to raise awareness on the second of September. That is in fact, yesterday byt 45 minutes. Well, this is my attempt. I haven't pulled out lots of sites, but there's that website. Remember, just because it's been months since it happened doesn't mean the problem has gone away.

And onto New Orleans, which is a huge tragedy. Tens of thousands may be dead. That's a number I can barely imagine. It's true what they say, five deaths is a tragedy, a hundred is a statistic, but I can't help feeling horrible while considering it. And yes, I could go on to say that the American gun culture is proving to be a problem, that the looting and mobs are ruining rescue efforts. Yes, it's easy to sit here, generalise, and say its their own fault. But hundreds of thousands of people are trapped in their own city, destroyed, and dieing. A few morons may be looting and shooting, but that doesn't change the fact that most of them just want to get out.

There's nothing I can do to help. When the Tsunami disaster occured, I had a job and donated money, this time, I don't, I can't even do that. I just hope that somehow people get their act together and rescue the survivors before more people die. I really wish I could do something, I mean, it's so easy to sit here and go 'Oh yeah, look at me, I care', but I don't really, if I'm not doing anything. Or at least that's how it feels.
