Mother Earth is hitting China
It have never denied the fact that I'm ardently opposed to almost anything from the chinese government because their politics are some of the most oblivious of basic human rights (and let's not even get started on their environmental stances). I've actively fought for the freedom and independence of Tibet since I was fifteen or such and it's no big secret that I'm fiercely opposed to the celebration of the Olympics in China.
Thus said, it doesn't mean in ANY way that I target the chinese people and today's news really really crushed me.
In case you haven't learned yet, an enormous earthquake of 7.9 magnitude struck Xinjiang in central China today, due to the confrontation in this place of the Eurasian and South-Asia landmasses. As of now the body count is of almost 9 000, and it's sure to rise up in the days to come. The quake also affected animals (as we usually tend to forget), especially since it hit Wolong Nature Reserve and the panda breeding center in Wenchuan county, which still remains out of contact.
So after Burma, Asia is once again targeted by forces of nature, and I hope that this time the rest of the world will act and help the population a lot faster. In a natural disaster like this one, every minute counts, let's never forget it.
I'll certainly give money to various charities like MSF or Handicap International, and cross fingers...
What else can I do?

On a different note (pun intended), I noticed you were listening to Elvis (who I am a freaking huge fan of, btw) and wondering how you can feel "crushed" while listening to BSS?! Now, if it was "Are You Lonseome Tonight"...(heh, just teasing)
