Go away hurricane!!

Well the city of New Orleans, as well as many other cities, are in a state of waiting as we see where Hurricane Dennis is going to go next. It is currenlty smashing Cuba, I keep finding myself thinking about Cuba and how it manages with hurricanes. I feel that though many homes can be damaged in the US by hurricanes, I am sure that far more are damaged and destroyed in Cuba. I get frustrated with US news for many, many reasons (reason I will not get into right now) but one of the biggest is that I dont feel that they cover the world news very good.

I find myself thinking that Cuba is getting smashed right now, but are we going to hear much about the pain and suffering they are going through, probably not because tomorrow we will be so sidetracked as to where it will go next. So I guess my point to all of this is that I think the US forgets so much about how much worse people have it than us, but then again our news does not help remind us of that either. As I am sure this hurricane is destorying the slums of Cuba right now more than it will possibly destroy our homes. I am reminded of how Haiti was smashed by a hurricane last year and left devistated, but have we heard anything about that since. Where are they now? How are they doing? How can we help? The same for the tsunami, it was covered for a good couple weeks after but where are they now? What is going on there?

This is a lot of thoughts out at once, and there is a huge discussion and debate that could go on about this, but I am just blogging my current thoughts.

Another current thought, I am having another hard day of missing friends and a good community.

So that is today. Waiting to see where a storm goes, internally debating my and America's ignorance, and missing friends and family.
