I get U.S. news that way, but also get to find out how the rest of the world is doing. <br /><br />I also like knowing how the world views us, and though the British are our allies, their news does in many ways indicate how other countries view the actions we take. <br /><br />Megi is gorgeous... but scary.Dr. Cheryl Carvajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323455180953109460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-67595965048519086622010-10-21T22:39:57.992-05:002010-10-21T22:39:57.992-05:00It's easier to point fingers and assign blame ...It's easier to point fingers and assign blame than it is to get up off the butt and roll up the sleeves and DO something. And then the same people want to eliminate the very programs and networks that help people in emergencies like that; it's Big Gummint and Socialism and Gummint Interference, dontcha know!

No one wants to fix them here. They just want to bitch about them, point fingers. In these other places, they fix things.<br /><br />Ike was devastating down here, but we cleaned up and moved on. We're still hearing more about Katrina than we hear about Ike because they're stagnating. <br /><br />Maybe people would start rolling up their sleeves more instead of playing blaming games and FIX stuff instead of just whining if these were the stories making headlines. <br /><br />Look at the Yucatan peninsula and Central America. They've been hit with three or four hurricanes and tropical storms this year, usually with only a day or two of warning. I haven't been seeing that in the news either. <br /><br />But Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, oh they're getting plenty of coverage.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-28903023705251582132010-10-21T21:41:56.079-05:002010-10-21T21:41:56.079-05:00I heard about this this morning.

So somebody must be covering it.<br /><br />We do hear about the devastating disasters across the world--the Indonesian tsunami, the Italian earthquakes. <br /><br />But, yes, these events are far from home. We do have problems here.The Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.com
