September 11
Today is September 11, the fourth anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Center's buildings. I haven't heard it mentioned once this week.
The news stations are filled with stories about Hurricane Katrina and the devastation of coastal Louisiana and Mississippi. Thousands of people are homeless. Cries for donations are heard on every television channel.
There is not enough money in the whole world to replace what these people have lost, either on September 11 or this most recent disaster.
When a loved one dies, it is devastation to everyone who cares about that person. It doesn't matter if that person died with thousands of others or alone in a hospital bed.
On a larger scale thousands continue to die from hunger and disease in areas that don't have the flamboyance of a flaming building collapsing or a hurricane raging. What about them? I continue to ask, "What about the others?"
