the media is at that stage in the game where they're past the pictures and stories of the displaced unfortunate..
and they've moved on to 'who's to blame'...
what was bush doing in the 24 hours after the hurricane hit...
and where the f**k is cheney in all of this..
do we even have a vice-president?
but it still doesn't change the fact that thousands and thousands of people lost their homes and everything in them...
so much has happened in just these past few years...
it's already been 4 years since 9/11...
massacres before that, wars after that...
fire in a corean subway in 2003... epidemics in afrika...
bombings in the u.k.... hurricane katrina...
i don't know how people do it..
how are we capable of dealing with one tragedy after another..
now, more than ever, the technological advancement of communication opens our eyes and ears to a wider scope of news around the world...
in doing so, we have inadvertently managed to expose ourselves to even more natural disasters and man-made horrors 25 hours a day, 8 days week, 366 days a year...
it's all slightly overwhelming... almost to the point of expelling the contents of one's stomach..
it doesn't quite make me vomit.. but the gagging reflex is there..
but somehow we manage to pick ourselves up, clean up and continue on this journey that is both strangely intoxicating and irresistibly addictive, where absolutely nothing is 110% certain...
humans are truly an odd species..
