Value of life
It is amazing how an incident like the Baltimore boat capsize makes headline news. Itz refreshing to see for someone from a place like India where if 30-40 ppl drown, itz just relegated to the bak pages of the newspapers and gets a passing mention in the TV news. I had commented in a previous post that the war on Iraq seems to make Americans more impervious to loss if lives. However, reactions to tragedies like Baltimore makes one feel more assured on this.
Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
