I used to watch "60 Minutes" every week. Except if you set the PVR to record it, you only get "10 Minutes" with 50 minutes of extra football at the start.
I spoke with my mother last night and she said she will NOT watch any news on Haiti. Because it's very, very hard to watch such devastation without falling into depression, particularly when there is little that you can do (other than donate money) to help with the situation. When the disaster is close to home, you can do something. But here, it's just punishing yourself. And in a way, I agree. It does make me wish there was more we could do. If anything, I take the OPPOSITE tact of 1st land: this isn't the time to say we shouldn't be helping Haiti in the future, but maybe there should have been a better co-ordinated effort in the past. Families living in burned out cars isn't right and it took an earthquake for people to see the devastating poverty that already existed there before.
