The Global Village and Gustav ...

.
Last night I got an email from a dear friend who lives Jamaica who attached pictures from there of Hurricane Gustav's effects on the country side ... there were no captions with the pictures, and they really need none ...

As the media begins to focus on the effects of Hanna on North America, the legacy of Gustav has been left behind ... for the people who's houses and livelihoods are lying in ruin across the Caribbean from Gustav, I doubt they're worried too much about heavy rain in the north ...

The internet is an astounding place ... it makes our globe a village ... and reminds us that what affects one directly, affects all of us indirectly ...

Thoughts and prayers for the people of Jamaica and all across the Caribbean who are living through Hurricanes and Tropical Storms that are worsened by the careless environmental abuse of our affluent society:
