Quannah's thoughts

AID

As I go threw the many Blogs that i read everyday i have noticed that many of you are commenting on the Crissis that is going on down in the states.
I feel bad for the people, I have even donated to the cause.
But what really pisses me off is, why do people wait for a disaster before doing anything,
We. have big moments of silence for 9/11, for 11/11 and various other important dates that we must remember, but what about the other 365 days of the year.
Every day Men Woman and Children Die from not enough food or water or war and we don't stop everyday to think about them.
The countries that we live in are the most riches countries in the world and the only time we share is when the world is looking at us.
See now that the disaster has happend and everyone is watching no one has problem giving up something small for someone else.
Each person is getting a debit card of 2000 dollars to help get food, and clothes for their family which is great. but what about before this happened.
and what about when this is all over, what about the street people, will they go back to the street begging for pennies that we throw,
What about the single mother who has 3 jobs just to she can make rent and feed her little family, what about the druggies who want to get off the crack and get a life, what about the children in the streets begging and stealing, cuse that is the only life that they know, what about the poor in the world who die every day,
what about them what happends to them after all this is over,
Will everything go back the way it was,
the world now is conserned about rebuilding and finding jobs for everyone, why werent they before,
You know that bum you pass on the street everyday on your way to Starbuck to get your non-fat tripple decaf moca late, he at one point had hopes and dreams just as you do, he once had a home. he once was loved, he once used to go to his fav coffee shop, stopping to get the morning paper to look on how his investments were doing,

Every charity out there can turn 1 dollar into meals for people, if all of us only gave 1 dollar a month in a year there would be no homeless, there would be no hungary there would be no sick and deprived children running around without a home or food.
It hurts, not only me and you but the world,
You know the countries that are full off poor, Noone goes there on vacation, why, not because the country is not beautiful it is cuse no one wants to see the desvistaion, no one wants to go on vacation to have someone tell them sorry no food for you or have someone begg as you site see.
Now why the fuck would some other intelligent life come to this crappy planet to visit or to even probe us. I sure the fuck wouldn't. Do you know what are little planet is, we are the wrong side of the tracks of the univers,
Now you may be thinking "well what have you done to make this a better place?"
Well for the Katrina relife i gave, when is see garbage on the side of the road i pick it up. when i see someone hungary i feed them.
