Okay so I'm frustrated with something and I don't know how to say this in a way that doesn't sound horrible, so please bear with me. I am frustrated and shocked by the lack of response I am seeing on a local level in rushing aid to Pakistan. While at the same time I will be attending a comedy show a friend is opening for this weekend for which proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief. Don't get me wrong, I know there is still much need for help and rebuilding down there and I am all about sending help, but I cannot for the life of me understand why there has been no special offering taken at church and really very little talk in general about the tragedy of the earthquake in Pakistan. From what I understand the death toll in Pakistan has now surpassed 40,000 people while the death toll from Katrina is under 2000. Now I'm not trying to belittle that situation at all, but I think the numbers clearly speak to the need for stepping up for Pakistan also. So why isn't anyone saying anything?
