The devastating earthquake...

in southwest China has destroyed or heavily damaged 436,000 properties leading to 4.8 million people homeless as of Friday, May 16. The official death toll now stands at 22,000, with 14,000+ still buried. After shocks are still continuing, causing landslides, blocking roads, knocking out phone lines and burying vehicles. I can imagine the quality of most of the roads in this is quite bad. With heavily traveled routes blocked, aid is probably having a difficult time getting into the most destroyed areas to help clean up the destruction. However, according the Chinese officials, rescuers now have reached all 58 counties and towns that were affected by Monday's earthquake. Will this quake affect the Chinese economy as well as the US economy? I suspect it will. Feed me your thoughts and opinions. What can we do to help?

Imagine...

Imagine there's no Heaven 
It's easy if you try 
No hell below us 
Above us only sky 
Imagine all the people 
Living for today 

Imagine there's no countries 
It isn't hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too 
Imagine all the people 
Living life in peace 

You may say that I'm a dreamer 
But I'm not the only one 
I hope someday you'll join us 
And the world will be as one 

Imagine no possessions 
I wonder if you can 
No need for greed or hunger 
A brotherhood of man 
Imagine all the people 
Sharing all the world 

You may say that I'm a dreamer 
But I'm not the only one 
I hope someday you'll join us 
And the world will live as one 

We are...
