RELATIVITY

Published by wrmarshall at 7:44 am under Realpolitix Edit This

I know the Buddha says we all suffer and misery shouldn’t be comparative. I know we have plenty to bitch about as we get dragged kicking and screaming in the the eighth year of the Bush/Cheney nightmare, but:

Congo-Kinshasa: Hundreds Flee New North Kivu Violence

Uganda: UN Peacekeepers in DRC Prepared to Strike LRA

Tanzania: 450,000 DRC And Burundi Refugees Leave

Congo-Kinshasa: End Suffering in East, Say Rights Groups

Congo-Kinshasa: Journalist Beaten By Angolan Diplomat - Arrested While Unconscious

Congo-Kinshasa: Concern About Death Threats Against Those Observing Appeal Hearings in Serge Maheshe Murder Case

That’s just a taste of the last three days of headlines from Central Africa. Note there wasn’t a single mention of the starvation and genocide that’s occurring even as you read this.

Didn’t mean to depress anyone, but sometimes we just need to put the Barack & Hillary Show in perspective.

I’ll be funny next time…
