Good for you and well said. All these...Hey Darren.<br />Good for you and well said. All these do-gooders should try being there and scraping the blood and guts (some still hot and steaming) into rubbish bags and burying them quietly so their relatives don't/can't see them.<br />They should try watching the starving watching local dogs scavenging bits of human bodies and then killing the dogs to eat.<br />Most of these B****rd don't even know what survival is about. They should talk to our troops in Afghan of Iraq - probably your Dad and mine eh?<br />like I said at the begining - good for you and well saidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-25461263558810903202010-01-19T18:30:33.371+00:002010-01-19T18:30:33.371+00:00Curious analogy.

Many are not only struggling to live, but actually failing to do so, and painfully. They've also had many relatives and friends killed, had the equivalent of having the shit kicked out of them, and now face civil violence, spread of disease, etc etc. You're right, no-one has to stop feeling sorry for themselves if their situation is dire. Haiti does, however, bring some perspective to bear.John Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519877517930532027noreply@blogger.com
