PSA

OK, here’s a peeve of mine, it’s not funny, but it’s important so I have to get it out. Two major natural disasters occurred in the last several weeks and no one is talking about it. Something like 100,000 people could have been killed in Myanmar from the cyclone and in China they are saying almost 42,000 people were killed in the earthquake. We’re still talking about freaking Katrina and that left less than 3,000 dead. Now all of these deaths are upsetting obviously here or abroad, but I don’t know why no one is making a bigger deal out of this news. I was out of the country when Katrina hit and trust me it was the only thing being reported internationally for weeks. Where are the PSAs, the calls for aid, the celebrity charity balls and telethons for these Asian disasters? Where is the extreme home makeover team – send them to China to help rebuild some of those houses. Ok, I get that this kind of political message is so not what this blog is about, but I couldn’t help myself. Go to the link below to donate to the International Red Cross and maybe order Thai food tonight to show your support for the region.
