Earthquake
Relatively uneventful weekend for me, went and saw the movie Serenity. Loved it btw.
Unfortunately the same could not be said for the poor people of Northern Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. I couldn't believe what I saw Saturday morning when I woke up, such a massive earthquake hitting there, killing thousands and that too right in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan. How could this happen? It is so sad.

But whatever the reasons (and not being a member of God's cabinet, I can't say why), so help me God, if one crazy Muslim cleric or Bible-thumping fanatic Christian minister says that this earthquake is the fault of the people who were affected, I'm going to lose it. God (or whatever entity you believe in) is not a meanie, if He was, why would millions follow Him?
Working with my little Sunday School kids to raise some funds to send to children affected by the earthquake. It is amazing how much these Western children are willing to give, no questions asked, so unlike adults with all our hang-ups.
and ps - yes non-descript airline is making us poor schlubs work on Columbus day. But since I've never been one to celebrate mass murderers like Mr. 'Genocide of an entire indigenious people' Christopher Columbus, I'm not too upset.

Sad news, indeed. The folks who blame disasters on those affected are to be pitied and despised for their narrow-mindedness.
I am one of the fortunate few who is off for Columbus Day. I will take a moment in silence to remember all of the victims of colonization, "manifest destiny," slave trading, apartheid and recent natural disasters, as well. This seems to me to be a better use of the day than parades and the like.
Gotta work, too, VG. I haven't had a Columbus Day off since I worked in a financial institution.
My heart is for those poor people in South Asia. So many horrible disasters in one year.
I feel like the little stone in Dave's Blogography story yesterday.

Merci - people have parades on Columbus day? Celebrating what?
Maidink - a-ha, so glad to see I'm not the only one whose gray nameless company makes them come in, really is hard, no? When everyone else is off?
Belinda - what story? I shall have to check out this Dave character
:-)
Parades in NYC and Philly celebrate Italian-American heritage. I can get behind the heritage part, but there has been a lot of controversy over the last few years about the Columbus part.
