I know this was way overdue, but Michelle and I watched
Hotel Rwanda last night. Devastating. I just kept thinking - how many other things like this are going on in the world right now that I haven't hear of?
Meanwhile, an earthquake hits Pakistan and 20,000 people are dead. Meanwhile, a mudslide in Guatamala happens and 1,400 are dead.
I know Hurricane Katrina has taken a lot of our attention, for good reasons (many, many good reasons), but the numbers speak for themselves. I want our country and people to continue giving toward Katrina relief, but we need to be careful, too. I'm likely to write something I'll regret if I continue in this vein, so I'll shut up now.
