I've said it before and I'll say it again, the worlds going looney on us. We've had one natural disater after another. From the beggining of this year with the Tsunami of Indonesia/Thailand to New Orleans here in the U.S. and now perhaps the most devastating, this 7.7 earthquake, which has estimates of 20,000 dead.

Do I really think this is a foreshadow of things to come? Armageddon? Global Warming? Alien Apocalyspe? Not really. I think the world and mother nature is constanting reminding us how fucked up she really can be. I think in this new age of globilization, where you can fly anywhere in the world for about $800.00 and instantaneous call anyone worldwide, or look up newspaper articles via the web, we are becoming more aware of what's going on in the world today.

10 years ago a flood in China or a hailstorm in Canada would hardly raise an eyebrow, cause no one would know about it. Now we can access information about anything at anytime so the world seems like a much smaller place.

What about that quake? I'm not too sure that many people are sympathetic. After all, here's another Muslim nation, that's belligerently denounce America as well as other western nations for our "greed" and our world policies. Now that they need help, there's a great outcry for the lack of and slowness in the delivery of aid. Shut the fuck up. No matter how evil America is, our money is still green. Choke on your wars. Go ask India for help, another "neighbor" you've been pissing off for years. Or better yet, ask Muslim extremists to help out, after all, you stuck your neck out for them by hiding their terrorists, and you must have a lot of money, since you can now devote funds into Nuclear research.... Maybe there is a god. Maybe he is just.
PS. Take a good look at this photo. This is an awful lot like what Ground Zero looked like after 9-11. Still don't believe in Kharma?
