a moment of silence for the departed
--
A few hundred or thousand miles away from where i am being comfortably seated now in the comforts of my air conditioned room , hundreds lay dead as floods devastated Haiti and the Dominican republic ( heck , don't think most of you would know where they're anyway ). Nobody cares , because those countries are 'insignificant'. If this happened in the good ol USA , i think by now the entire world would have despatched rescue operations 1 hour after the catasrophe happened. But of course , not in some places where Zombies roam . Fuck that. I wish i could do something about it than typing some stupid words like some spoiled asshole. In singapore , nobody has to ever worry about dying in floods . Not when you are 18 stories above ground. Please , somebody hear the Haitian's pleas for help. Can you imagine , this was once Paradise , as once described by the first white men on the island ( Captain James something if i remember correctly ) but now it has become more or less of a wasteland no thanks to political unrest and the endless milking of its natural resources and the building of touristy attractions. Fuck that again. Just when would Men leave things as they are in their former glory ? Mountains still remain beautuful even if you did not build some stupid skiing resort on it.
