We all feel like this, but we are alive.


It has been over 100 degrees for over a month now, and its only getting hotter. We also have a drought. This is all a very real concern, but what keeps coming back to my mind is the drought in Somolia. We, the media, are constantly inward focused. What is happening to us, what temperature it is outside, is what sells, because it is what you, the people, are interested in. Ideally what we, the media, should be doing is bringing attention to a catastrophe that can only be helped by you, the people. I encourage you to check the links below, view every single image until your heart breaks, and thank God for all we have in this land of plenty.
