Earthquakes :(

Blegh. Couldn't sleep last night because of more drama at the house. But anyway....

I saw on the news where there was another major earthquake, this time hitting Chile. Just watching the footage from Chile reminded me of similar videos from Haiti. It just makes me feel so sad that people are in those situations.

Earlier today I was in a pretty heated debate with someone who said the government was "wasting" money by helping these people. How can anyone honestly feel that way? It is not those peoples' faults. It was a natural disaster that could not have been prevented, and now they need our help.

Ugh. Some people just have no sense I guess. I mean how could someone argue that it is okay for the government to give free food and shelter to drug addicts who do nothing to help themselves, but not to people who have no choice in the matter?
