Are you serious. More than 80,000 people are dead. This is one of the greatest tradgedies of modern times. Im sick of the news/media currency that is given to developing nations and the attitude that brown lives dont matter.
'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
