TSUNAMI !! Or giant ad campaign.....pick one.
Humans make me sick. To my stomach. If i had a choice, i'd go back in time and kill every last Homo Erectus. Not because they're named after a boner, but mainly because they evolve into the loathesome Homo Sapien.
Natural disasters happen. They happen all the time. But once in a while, god decides to tease us (or test. Whatever), and send a doozie our way. First it was the Flood, then it was a giant volcanic eruption, third was Martha Stewart, and finally we have a giant tidal wave.
Hundreds of thousands die. Nobody really cares. Yep, you read right, nobody really cares. Everybody just feeling "sad" and observing moments of silences just because the media tells us to. The harsh fact is: humans can never feel the full horror of the situation when the live vicariously through the TV.
Then the important players enter. Governments, the military, and organizations all itching to get their name out onto the global scene.
You think the military executes these exercises because they're chock full of good-will? Nope. They're treating this as a training exercise. It's a chance to use the shiny new chopper they bought in 1999. It's a chance to practice in case the same thing happens at home. It's a chance to show the world that they exist. Save a few people while we're at it? Sure........i gues.....no one's plan is perfect. I'm sure maybe we'l accidentally save a few while around in Aceh. The important thing is i get to fly something new.
Countries get into the act too. A good example would be Singapore. Their effort to hold the UN relief hub over their just shows how much they care about the region. Or is it because they just want to get the name "Singapore" out onto the UN. Singapore loves being a hub. Their a hub for every god-damned thing.
Large scale tragedies have turned into a giant ad campaign for all the selfish disembodied entities that run our country. It has stopped being about good-will a long time ago.
