Reply #22: I can't even process that many deaths....

[stillcool]

I find myself wondering what that many people would look like. And if you add Afghanistan & Katrina...not to mention all the other 'hot-spots'..it gets even more bizzare...One death...regardless of it's nationality...I can comprehend.

John Donne Meditation XVII: No man is an island...
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
