A sad situation yesterday, indeed, but perhaps unfortunately now many more people truly know how nearly 2/3rds of the Earth's population actually lives out their lives every day in squalor, confusion and frustration, day-in and day-out.

With all due respect, as a happy new yorker. What the hell difference does it make to me those 2/3rds people. They don't have power, fine, they probably don't miss not having it either. I'm not them, and our economy is not based on them. I'm sure someone, somewhere yesterday in some 3rd world country also got hit by a car, what, I'm supposed to compare there plight to mine? Its supposed to matter to me?

How 2/3rds of the world is doing, has no relevance to most of the people on this board unless it has a direct affect. Those people over there in the 3rd world, did not have an effect, the people in north america, did.

Count your many blessings, brother, count your blessings. We have been graced what with the inalienable right to be fat, comfortable, air conditioned, perrier-ed up, with 500 cable channels and 17 brands of toilet paper. Count your blessings is all i'm saying, when lining this disaster up with the rest of the world. These things sometimes happen for a deeper, instructive reason. It is what it is. New Yorkers did well. Take away something from it. Deeper.

This is why the TV show "Survivor" would be such a joke of a show in about 75% of the world. it's a legitimate perspective you don't want to hear. Fine. I'm thankful. That's all for now. :-)

How sad for people who share your outlook.
