Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the disastrous earthquake in Haiti, where unknown thousands of people are hurt or dead. This is truly a catastrophic event. As the world mobilizes to lend aid to the suffering, we should find reputable charities and venues through which we can donate relief funds.
We should remember that as much as we complain about recessions, stock market problems, and other fiscal woes, there are some who have it worse than we do. Haiti is a destitute country that has never had any real social or economic infrastructure, and the strife caused by this earthquake can be multiplied tenfold as a result. There were no building codes, no speedy 911 services, no reserves of supplies and money at hand just in case. We live like kings in comparison.
