What Price Progress?

You probably want to follow my other tumblog. This one happens to be the main one of my account, when really, my main tumblog is here.

“When the facts change, I change my mind – what do you do, sir?” John Maynard Keynes (1883 - 1946)

To whom it may concern…

…within the Burmese government

Your people are dying, and you won’t let us help them. This isn’t about your new constitution…we just want to make sure that your people survive this cyclone.

…within the UN

Just ship the aid in. Now. Ban Ki-Moon, please take swift action in saving the Burmese people. Just drop the aid in, are they really gonna take military action against a plane dropping vital supplies for the 90% of people who need help but haven’t received any yet?

For once, it would be nice to see the UN be proactive. Please take some advice from the marketing sages at one of the worlds leading sportswear and equipment suppliers…

Just Do It.
