Landslide in the Philippines, ferry sinks at 11……
Another day another landslide in the Philippines. Next week a ferry will sink. I can practically guarantee it. This isn’t news anymore, it’s just an ongoing tragedy tally that marks the lives of the Philippine people.
Now, by sheer coincidence, the hillsides in California seem to slide every few years as well. But instead of a handful of muddy beggars standing around saying, “One minute I was asleep and the next, my village is gone. My seven youngest children and my little tin shack have all been swept away,” you have people that look like Paris Hilton and Brad Pitt staring at a ruined garage going, “Man, this totally sucks. My favorite Benz was in there along with a huge bag of weed. If we hadn’t parked the Porsche next to the Hummer down at the beach house, it would have gotten completely scratched or something.”
Amazing how tragedy can bind the world together isn’t it?
