$100 BILLION and counting!!

The cost of the tsunami tragedy is estimated around $15 Billion.

Hmmm, we could have had Hussein and Sons assassinated for a few million and still had billions left over to help those truly desperate in Asia. Tell me again how Iraq is a good thing?

Happy New Year
Doubtful I'll post tomorrow. I plan to sleep most of the day and clean the house in prep for a party. But Happy New Years to you-all. It's got to be better than 2004, what with the Election idiocy, and 24/7 coverage of every "who-gives-a-f_ck-about-them" celebrities (*cough* Britney, Janet, Michael, Paris, Lindsey. and so on). Rationality and critical thinking disappeared in a wave of blind, follow-the-leader religious "intuition" lead and exemplified by Dubya. Morality and Ethics disappeared as actions were justified because of fervent beliefs. The Ends justified the Means and Might almost made Right (if'n it weren't for those darn "insurgents").

The rain has stopped. The sky is clear; the air crisp and sweet. As 2005 quickly approaches, we need to forget the Politics and Celebrity Stupidity that've made our lives shallow and meaningless. Don't look to them for meaning, for meaning is not found on TV or in a glossy magazine. Meaning is with family and friends, those who truly care. So for 2005 have a meaningful New Years.
