Thousands Dead in Indonesia, Millions of Americans Yawn on Cue
About 6,000 people perished in the quake in Indonesia last week, and almost 700,000 have been displaced from their homes. I know it's not as "exciting" as a tsunami, but my God, can't the media get it up for a disaster where thousands perish anymore? It's just sad.
I know we Americans have a lot going on in our busy, over-scheduled lives, but I swear, if it's not in our own backyard, we could give a shit. Well, when whatever it is we import from Indonesia stops coming to a Wal-mart near you, maybe a few people will get upset.
Meanwhile, how many lines of copy will Katie get this week?
PS Here's a link to an article I wrote about the Sudan. At least it's getting some press coverage these days.
