le sigh
Today in Texas Government we were talking about the hurricane, and we were all pretty much in agreement how horrible and sad it was. That converstation soon turned into a discussion on gas prices, everyone started getting so mad about how high it was getting. Yes, i understand they are pretty high, but there are more important things going on in the world. I started getting angry and i raised my hand and brought up the point that, thousands of people have lost their homes, have no where to go, have lost everything they had, cant even get a fucking bottle of water, and they are sitting their, in an air conditioned room, with there sodas bitching about how they have to spend 15 more cents on a gallon than they did last week. The room grew silent, and my teacher looked a bit uncomfortable. After the silence broke i heard someone behind me cough and call me a bitch. I didnt mind though because i think it was the truth.
Fuck those poeple huh?
I was listening to 590am on the way home and this lady called in and was talking about how her husband had been keeping journals since he was a kid and had pretty much wrote in then every single day, and how they were all gone, and she began to cry. The whole situation is just horrible and sad.
You all know i am not one to get emotional at all, but watching these poeple on the news crying, not knowing what to do next, when they will have a place to live. Its just heartbreaking.
I really wish i could do more.
I went down to salvation army between my classes and gave them bottles of water and some canned food. I know thats not a lot, but i just dont know what else to do.
