RE: Haiti tragedy. I urge my readers to take the time to read this site: http://morealtitude.wordpress.com & it’s ‘thread’ Why Aid is Slow Getting in to Haiti – specifically the post of January 17, 2010 at 10:57pm. Then take positive action with both prayer and deed. Give to the charity of your choice & thru only secure, valid sites; a suggestion: CRS, Catholic Relief Services, a reputable international ‘boots on the ground’ established organization.
Regardless of issue: Lives Are Saved …One At A Time.
However, ‘we must eventually go upstream to find out why there are bodies floating downstream’ i.e. must identify the issues, the causes, and work to change them or society will just continue like a bizarre living M. C. Escher work of art.
