The sheer number of death truly is mind-boggling. Who cares about Obama when 100,000 lay dead in the face of just one of these natural disasters? It's surprising that nature has that kind of destructive capabilities. Second, I'm glad you said that bit about selfishness being the father of vices. I read that first line and thought to myself "hmmm... I wouldn't say selfishness is a vice, rather the cause of vices." But then you went on to clarify and you rock as always. Laslty, I saw a guy as I was leaving graduation today who had a bumper sticker that read "I'd rather be God." It was right next to an Obama '08 sticker and a Darwin fish. I don't exactly know what he was getting at, but I'd assume it has something to do with the fact that he thinks man is god in effect... lame. A few things:

It would take approximately $10 billion to fix that. For another $11 Billion, Malaria cases could be cut by 90%, increasing annual economic output by as much as $30 billion in Africa, prevent 672 million malaria cases, and free up 427,000 needed hospital beds over five years. It doesn’t matter what the issue is, Americans have the resources to help. Make a choice today to reject the trap of consumerism and debt, and instead invest your resources into that which gives life.</em> Thanks fellas for weighing in on the conversation.
