Today's news is full of catastrophic natural disasters. Firstly we have read about the earthquake in China (???) and next the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Yet despite the global reach of the Internet and media corporations political imperatives still impact on the disemination of news. Did any of you know that the Chinese earthquake was actually in Tibet?
Why have I missed this news from TV and radio today? Is Christine Nixon still more newsworthy or Brendan Fevola's gambling addiction and debts? Thank goodness for the online coverage on the Internet.
A FB friend, Kalsang Tensing, a Tibetan refugee told me from his relative safety outisde his home Country, and sure enough the good old Oz reported it as a Tibetan quake.
This certainly gives perspective to all our personal traumas and worries. They plae into insignificance alongside such mass devastation and loss of life. Could I ask any readers of this blog to be on the lookout for humanitarian aid efforts and fundraising drives to assist the Tibetans affected?
Thank you all.
When will mankind heed the warnings from "mother earth"?
