Haiti's Holocaust

By definiton, a holocaust is an act of mass destruction and loss of life (especially in war or by fire).... To the survivors of the Haiti earthquake their holocaust is coming in the aftermath.... The help that $100M donated can posse up is just not enough help for the demand of the people.... People that survived are dying from their injuries and some are losing their lives from the gangrene overtaking their body.... At times, the UN evacuated the doctors from the makeshift hospitals for security purposes but left the survivors behind to die.... AC360 was showing live footage of CNN Medic Sanjay Gupta being the only doctor left at these hospitals.... If security was of importance then a military parameter should have been built.... One doctor was even on record stating that we should be embarrased to be Americans because of how we allow the situation to get this bad..... $100M has been raised so far for Haiti and the output of the situation isn't a logical outcome.... We have donated enough money to see an above average rescue and support.... A Disaster Response Team should have been shipped out the day of the earthquake.... Ships with relief effort equipment along with food and water should be a standard for every nation.... Maybe I am "reaching" with what I think is adequate help for any situation.... But if compassion is the foundation of our existence then we need to take in account of all the disasters possible and have preparations ready for that situation.... Today is day six and the vital medicine and equipment needed for the relief efforts is still short of desired....

Tiger Woods

As 2010 ushers in the "Year of the Tiger" in Chinese astrology, 2009's most talked about news maker of the year was Tiger Woods.... Tiger made headlines after the news broke that he was having affairs with different women almost everywhere he went..... Different women came foward and gave testimonies on how they were in a sexual relationship with the best golfer in history..... This all happened after the 2009 Thanksgiving accident when Tiger crashed his truck into a fire hydrant and a tree.... To later be pulled out of his truck by his wife who was holding a golf club.... Sources say that Tiger was in rough shape at the time of the accident....
I think all this is a scandal created by the golf powers that be to make sure that Tiger Woods doesn't break the record of Jack Nicklaus's most PGA major wins in a career.... At the time of the scandal, Tiger Woods was only 4 victories behind Jack Nicklaus for the all-time record for major championships(18).... Jack's career lasted 25 years in the sport and he collected records in almost every category in the sport of golf.... Until Tiger Woods showed up.... Tiger slowly picked off record leaders left-and-right.... Leaving people to wonder "Who can stop Tiger Woods".... It's hard to retire from golf when you're young and still in good shape.... Golf players usually play for 20 or more years considering there is no contact or body damage in this sport.... So for Tiger Woods just to come out and retire early, would have raised red flags and have people wonder why he quit so young.... So here comes this scandal so Tiger Woods has a reason to step away from the game indefinitely.... In the news, all we heard is how Tiger Woods is taking a break to fix his marriage, but all we see is how the married couple is existing on different sides of the planet.....
Tiger Woods in 2009, became the first athlete to reach a billion dollars in earning from events and endorsements.... Only to lose his endorsements after the scandal.... Since Tiger Woods has always been seen as an " outsider" in the game of golf.... I can understand the uproar in the golf world if Tiger Woods sat alone on top of the mountain of golf supremacy, owning every possible record, and probably never being knocked off!!.....
