With hopes that everybody on this group is all right and does not have the pain of anxiety about any relatives or friends who were in the affected area on 26 December 2004.

I have a cousin in Sri Lanka who was in a neighbouring village filling his cars gas tank when his home was wiped out. That was just too close. My thoughts go out to all those who lost family in this. Rawn

And to all humans, most of them children, who die each year from malnutrition and lack of medical treatment (money)in less spectacular circumstances.

One of these days, Aeneas, we'll realize that it is important to get our priorities in order or be sent packing like the other 90% of Earth's species. And the worst crime that has become illuminated is the kidnapping of these helpless, poor children for use in the black-market slave trade. Despicable!

No friends or relatives in my case, but the fact the same isn't true in so many, many cases is very sad. And kuryume0161, I heard about that earlier this morning. I can't believe that there are those whom have no problem spinning evil from an already monumental tragedy. Sick; big time.

My country had worst tsunami effect Near 120.000 p3opl3 died I was very sad
