You are correct. Terra changes regardless of what goes on around her. To be more accurate, on top. Geological disasters are the worst, tsunami/earthquakes. While tragic, it seems the resources for "relief" efforts are dwindling with said resources having been allocated to the man-made disasters. IE relief for war torn populations. Relief efforts for hurricanes that continue to grow in size and intensity due to warming of the oceans. Eliminate the unneccesary disasters and you have a greater pool of resources for the natural ones plus a faster response time. It's been suggested some relief efforts have been poorly or slowly organized. Going backwards to before Katrina that's not really true. It's a matter of eliminating unnecesary waste of resources. Get rid of the wars, Haiti and many others would have been more swiftly dealt with. I think Graham Nash would agree. I did see much coverage of Haiti tonight. It's not just brutal, it will curdle the soul. Yes, I am thankful for what I have. I bitch about the awefull weather here in Austin. But now I can see......I can see what I've avoided and wonder. If I could have given Eddy back to his first owner and trade my Apt. to a Haitian family a month ago, for "their place"......I would have done it. I'd be dead now, but I woulda done it.

We raise our voices in the night
Crying to heaven
And will our voices be heard
Or will they break Like the wind
