Just watched a vid about kids in Afghanistan who are looking for bombs left over from the wars so they can scrap it for a few bucks a day and all I can think and feel is.. "pain and how can I can change this.." but there is so little I can do..

It's perhaps easy thinking but I do wonder if 'important people' with power don't watch such videos in their spare time and have the same feelings

But maybe they got in power in the first place because the lack of feelings..

@stux
I have an uncle who stumbled upon a WWII era bomb. Thankfully he didn't get hurt

@ScriptFanix Dangerous indeed :blobcatscared:

But can you imagine.. waking up a 4 in the morning to go look for bombs.. so maybe.. maybe you can eat at the end of the day

It breaks my heart

Bingo. To emphasize, they say that a politician won't last long in DC without an ulterior motive.
