Been keeping track about the Sichuan devastating earthquake on the news and on the radio. The death toll is now more than 50,000. It is extremely heartbreaking to hear that so many people have lost their lives. I also have deep sympathy for those whose love ones are still buried under rubbles. I feel really upset by the news and pictures on different local newspapers and on the Internet.

There is nothing we can do for them except for donating money and praying. People who are trying to make money out of them should be severely punished. The one who got caught by sticking an account number next to several ATMs pretending to be an account for making donation into should be jailed until everyone is happy!

Lately most people are distracted by the earthquake and completely forgot about the typhoon strike in Burma. People there are relatively poorer as they are under a ruthless military government. Relief supplies sent there from other countries are first confiscated by the government before they are distributed to the needy. The government is making money out of the poor people. They sell and keep all the valuable things they can find and give out all the crappies in the name of the government. How benevolent!

I wanna ask, “Where is Bush?”

Bush bombed Iraq in the name of justice, in the name of saving the people there. What about Burma? Doesn’t Bush like to get into someone else’s affair? Bush isn’t going to help Burma because they have nothing for him! There is no oil, nothing! There is nothing for Bush to take a piece out of.

There is no denying that I pay more attention in the earthquake in Sichuan rather then in the tragedy in Burma. It is because I am Chinese. It is reasonable that everyone pays more attention in their home affair. But think! There are no boundaries between races when it comes to charities. We should help everyone in need, not just those on the same piece of land.
