I do care

[frualeydis]

If I don't write anything about the disaster in New Orleans it's not because I don't care, but because I'm trying to block it away from my thoughts because I just can't handle it right now. I'm too tired. And I don't want to think about people's behaviour. After the tsunami everybody was amazed at the willingness to help, the grace and the courage from the people in Thailand and Sri Lanka, who were poor form the beginning and who had lost everything. I can't help wondering what it is that makes people in New Orleans act so differently.
But as said, I don't want to think about it, I want to think happy thoughts about sewing.

US - disaster

[(Anonymous)]

Hallo,
I also just don't have enought wors about theese problems. But I believe - the kye is that traditional society with its traditional values of humanity and help for free.
Actualy, there are still some places in the world were people are different. I have been in London - Londeners are very kind people. Possibly, the same would not happen there.
Here, in Moscow, we have had a blackout. No robbery, no crime - everything was the same as usual. However, everything was fixed within hours.
I believe, that US already face fast and unpleasant changes. We live in a free world - if the values of society are too cruel for you, why don't you just move to another country?

Regrets,
Yury

I happily live in Sweden, but I care about people from other places too.
