Myanmar
#1
I'm not sure if we have anyone here from Myanmar or its surrounding countries, but I'd like to take the time to remember all of those (at current count 4,000 dead, 3,000 unaccounted for) who are suffering as a result of the cyclones this past weekend.
I am the milkman of human kindness

And I will bring an extra pint
-- B. Bragg



Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people's masters. -- Grover Cleveland



When the laws are used to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society -- the farmers, mechanics, and laborers -- who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their government -- Andrew Jackson



"Capitalism takes no prisoners and kills competition where it can." -- Vince Cable

Change comes not when some group of radical seizes power, that’s just a shift at the top. It comes when Mr. And Mrs. Ordinary make a stand. When the cake shop owner and teacher and the bearer boy come together and say, ‘They are not afraid,’ anymore.

Maybe a bit far, but I live in a Southeast Asian country regularly ravaged by storms/hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones. Year after year we are hit by storms and storm after storm people die from them.
