Human tragedy and what it does to me

[Matt Foley]

I see their faces on the TV screen and I stay as detached as I can. The unbelievable anguish that must be going through their minds. The loss. The stomach punch of everything they have worked for and ever hoped for being gone just like that. Those poor, devastated people. I am of course talking about Packers fans.

I hope Sarah Mclachlan does a commercial for them.

No body does emotional detachment quite like a Rams fan.

you know, im not too sappy, and am pretty numb to all the bad poo in the world, that being said:

Havent seen much at all about the Haiti earthquake, but flipped it on CNN last night and they showed this 11 year old girl pinned under debris. Her legs and lower body were pinned and she was able to talk and take on water and such...

they said they were finally able to free her, but that she died soon after.

that really was horrible.

I read that story this morning after I posted this. She said "Mother, please don't let me die" right before they lost her.

In the Spartanburg paper this morning there was a man who had been to Haiti on a humanitarian mission a few years ago who said he would not go back this time because he had guns pointed at him last time. I wish our army had permission to fire away at those thugs this time. Last night Sanjay Gupta was the only doctor who stayed at one of the hospitals...the rest cleared out because the Red Cross told them it wasn't safe to stay there.

I feel pretty much the same way when I see you and SouthCak in the same Tinderbox thread.

we've been thinking of adopting a Haitian baby...this should make it easier
