How can one "have a great day!" when, no matter where you turn, there are people and places hurting and mourning? The floods, heat, winds, fires, quakes, planes and just about anything on earth and in the firmament are heartlessly wreaking havoc WORLDWIDE!!!
We must sympathise and empathise, condole and commiserate, and we must...reflect very very deeply. Let's move aid and assistance fully and swiftly to all in need.
Then the real and final task: Our answer to this 4-year old girl's golden question: "Where is the government???"
The World Government is the United Nations. Just as we work together on "bird flu" and other plagues, let's tackle the Weather and its Fall-outs jointly....NOW!
A special session of world leaders should be convoked right away. And its only agenda is Action, Action, ACTION!
Voices and choices will power ideas, anchor forays this millennium. Bonding of Brain & Brawn celebrates of our civilization. None in the Global Village should be left out in this collegiate march. Naturally, I worry for Nigeria and Africa. We will engage the world through deep interrogations...from the known to the renown and the unknown. We will reflect the dynamic challenges and immense possibilities of our world. Here is my personal space in the public place! Welcome.

Unfolding Bet: The questions of Palestine-Iraq-Palestine-Darfur-Iraq-Palestine-Darfur will consume many a politician, many a diplomat, many a president, in the months and years to come. No question at all. And we note.
Somehow, time and votes will shift the full burden of responsibility and accountability back to where it squarely belongs: on the head and shoulders of world leaders and their hordes of aides. They enjoy the position, perks and power. Why would they not do the job...well and proper? Are we paying them to ruin our world or to restore hope, peace and tranquility to our battered lives and psyche? The clock ticks.
Then we have all their political parties very very busy playing the proverbial ostrich. No matter. Their own days will come....sooner than later. Bet.
On all counts, nature and history, hurt and humming, money and memory plus posterity will take hold and gore the rambling fold. All will and must account....in time, soon-time.
Are we griping, moaning and mourning at once? Hell, we are! Any repercussion for inaction and ineptitude, wasting billions on military illusion instead of global vision on sustainable, equitable development? Squandering youthful lives instead of empowering them? Spilling the precious blood of women and children instead of securing and enriching same? You bet....just watch.
It will be painful but purgatory. And, sadly (because it is so avoidable!), it will be self-inflicted.
