Priorities?

People in Haiti are worried about starving to death. In the meantime they're holding themselves over with dirt cookies.

Burmese people are worried about the lack of aid, due to their own government, after the cyclone ripped their lives apart. While they wait for forced help from other governments the 25% worth of "have" civilians are helping the 75% have nots.

People in China are worried about the earthquake that killed... well, they haven't quite figured that out yet and you need all the dead people for an absolute number right? It's a lot though and still rising. In the meantime the people are sleeping outside and comforting themselves with thoughts that they made it even though their friends and families might not have.

People in America are worried about R. Kelly diddling little girls. In the meantime they are soothing themselves by screaming in the court room and taking days off from school and work in order to watch every moment he's on trial.

I think Mr. F summed it up nicely the night I asked him what luck allowed us to eat such a large amounts of chocolate cake. The answer? "We're American baby".

Just saying.
