Recognizing what is really important...

Sometimes recognizing what is really important is difficult. In the midst of a debate on the gas tax, on Barack and Hillary, the John McCain story, a cyclone hit Myanmar. The estimates are that over 100,000 people have been killed and that over 1,000,000 people have been left homeless. The United States, the United Nations, and much of the world has responded with great generosity and compassion and a large amount of aid has been directed towards Myanmar.

The aid is being blocked and what precious little has gotten into the country has been seized by the government of Myanmar.

Things, of course, are going to get worse. Hunger and disease are on the horizon and aid is being blocked.

Deliver us from evil....
