Y'know, I'd really dig it if you could lay off the "silly hippies" jive.

I'm not talking about curing all the world's ills. I'm talking about a self-congratulatory "wartime president" (his words, not mine) soliciting funds to throw parties while the residents of a country he started a war in are being killed by their "liberators."
Do you think that life has returned to normal in any of the countries hit by the tsunamis? It hasn't. It won't for a very long time. Homes have been destroyed. Entire villages have been washed away. There is no topsoil left for farming. There is no livestock left to raise. Thousands and thousands of bodies lie where the waves left them because there aren't enough people left to bury them. 10s of thousands of children have been orphaned. On and on and on.
This is the largest disaster to occur in most of our lifetimes. The neighbor's house is on fire, but we called 911. Isn't that enough? We're a little busy right now, because Timmy's having a party tonight. In fact, because we're so proud of him for being elected ASB president, we're having several parties. The PTA has given us money, the School Board has given us money, And, get this, we got the entire Drama Club and Band budgets! One little problem, though. Since we're having the parties AT the school, we need the school to pick up the tab for the security guards (you know how kids like to drink at these thigs :wink, wink:) Oh, look. The neighbors are out in the yard with a garden hose. Good for them!
