Ain't Mother Nature A B****?!

With the most recent rampage of the earthquake in Haiti, I think not a one of us has any reason to raise our brow even one tiny bit today. The Associated Press is reporting death toll ranges that could reach over 100,000 with the Red Cross estimating that 1/3 of the entire population of the country may be in need of Aid. This most temperamental display of Mother Nature has reduced the country to rubble. With the catastrophic destruction of government entities, hospitals, churches, schools and homes, aiding the recovery will prove an uphill battle demanding critical amounts of man power, supplies & monies. It is my wish that we all take a moment to open our hearts for those suffering in this strong-spirited, beautiful land.
