Today on the way to school i was listening to the radio. They were talking about how it's been an espicially rough year for asia because all the rain is killing the rice and flooding cities. Many people starve because ricce is 2/3 of there food intake. Imagine if 2/3 of your food was taken away and your cities have been flooded. Then the farmers lose a lot of money because thats their main profit. So then they have NO food and their family straves and dies and their whole villigage is washed away by a monsoon. I can't believe that. It seems so extreme. I have never really cared about world issues before but 1 million people died last year. Now yes i mean now as in today. We really are extremly lucky here to be able to have it so good. Even if you don't have much money it's at least 12 times better than what they have. Are you worried you're going to starve to death, or that your whole village will be swept away you taken with it???? i don't think so to add to that many of them are under communist rule and aren't free. Imagine living like that.
