Anyone who's been watching/reading the news has probably seen something about the earthquake that devastated South Asia. Tsunamis over thirty feet high swept over the largley unprotected coast, sweeping away the rich and poor alike. Most of the victims were children, who were not as strong as adults and more easily swept away. Now thousands more are at risk of dying because of disease and lack of clean water. Here's a good list of ways that you can help. http://www.msnbc.com/modules/interactive.asp?id=/d/ip/tsunami_aid_04/data.js&navid=6758618&cp1=1

I hereby nominate 2004 as one of the worst years of all time. Just...total sadness. :(
