Wow, so many dead already. This is big, very big. Its a sign of the end times though and well, God is still in control, isn't he? Just saw the Starbucks at Patong from which I bought a chocolate frap days ago. It is a mess with junk strewn everywhere. Weird. God IS merciful. Now I hear Jet Li is missing in the Maldives. Not good. But Chan Soo Sen is saved! Yay! He got off the island in time.
Just thinking that to the media, 5500 people dying on 9/11 is probably a bigger thing that the 10-15 000 dying in Asia one Sunday Morning. This is probably because of the ramnifications of terrorist action as compared to natural disasters. I mean, there is no enemy to strike at, is there? And also because to CNN 30 Bangladeshis or Indians or Thais or Malays washed out to sea are not the equivalent of 1 New Yawker roasting to death in his WTC office. Such is the Americo-centric nature of our mass media today. Such is life...
