Did you happen to look at the default news on news.google.com today?
I couldn't believe it:
A story about how people are finally waking up to Global Warming and are asking "did human beings cause this." (Duuuuh).
Next was a post about the Iraq government being unstable because of the extent of terrorism.
A little further down we read that the Gaza truce has been broken (more deaths)
And then the real capper: "Three-quarters of a trillion dollars in defense spending on Monday, including $245 billion to cover the cost of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Do you realize what we could do with that money if we spent it on things that helped people instead? For example, what if we used it the way Muhammad Yunus used his money, to help people start up their own businesses so they could become independant and support themselves and their families.
All I can say is damn it; it really pisses me off.
