Haiti

My heart goes out to the victims of the recent Haiti disaster. You can feel the focus of the world shifting to Haiti and the groundswell of support for relief efforts. That is how it should be.

The secondary tragedy is how swiftly people politicize disaster like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, and others who haven't made headlines. People lost their lives, their loved ones and most of their material possessions. They face a complete breakdown of the infrastructure which delivers food and water to them. The human response is compassion.

There but for the grace of God go we.
