The recent fires in S. Calif have created a "refugee" problem in the region. About 1 million people have been displaced because of the fires. The news outlets have spent 5 days of 24/7 coverage of wood burning. Sorry guys, I know what a fire looks like. Yes, yes, yes..it is a terrible thing, but unfortunately the world will go forward with San Diego intact or not.
Sorry, but what about the millions of Iraqi refugees that are trying to make a life in the middle of death and destruction? Why do you, the media, just mention these people in passing, for the most part? Or how about those pesky refugees in Darfur? Recall those people?
The world continues and after 5 days of total immersion in the Calif fires, I have had enough! The world is not a kind place! But there is more to it than the fires in the affluent sections of S. Calif. Could we move beyond this story?
