Why???

I didn't get much sleep last night. The last thing I remember "watching" on TV before trying to sleep was the impact of Hurricane Ike on Texas and the memorial that was put up for miners in my state. The memorial is an uncanny replica of each of the miners who lost their lives in the mine collapse last year in East Carbon County. The news coverage showed the families and other people who went to the unveiling. I cannot get the picture of a wife running her hand over the sculpted face of her lost husband. I'm not asking for any doctrination but at times like this I wonder how an almighty loves all equally could let something like this occur. NOTHING CAN BE LEARNED FROM EVENTS LIKE THAT!! The children who lost parents will only learn hatred of companies who do not put forth the extra dollar and the companies will not learn a thing except how to cut checks to clear their name so they can re-open the damn mine. Then there is Ike. So much loss. Nothing could've prevented it. Don't give me the "its in the Bible" bullshit, this stuff has been happening for millions of years and the end STILL isn't here. Here is breaking news: it's not coming, there is no such thing. The only truth is that there is suffering, starving, fighting, dying, cruelty, and much much worse out there and it will never cease. Why are there people in the world who will send millions of dollars to third world countries to aid their needy but forget about the needy on our soil. Why is there billions of dollars spent and American lives lost to help out the suffering on the other side of the globe but no National Guard building homes for the homeless in the USA. There is not much I can do, I do what I can when I can but I get so depressed by these things. Those people who are in disarray due to the Hurricanes: you are in my good thoughts and same to the families of the miners. For that matter: all people who have experienced great loss I am thinking of you and hope for the best. As for offending readers: those who matter don't get offended by me and those who get offended don't matter (a little quote I picked up :) )
