Code Red: Extinction Level Events (ELE)

Goddamnit yo, it seems like we're always so busy we can rarely find a way to sneak in a couple minutes of peace in quiet. I feel you, don't think I don't. Right now i'm writing this on no sleep; with not much last night and you can bet your ass it aint in the near enough future.

Right now there are only two things keeping me from slumping to the floor unconscious and this is one of them: the fact that there's thousands of kids, like cute little 5 year old brats across the world are being killed by the various global crisis's in a lot of seriously fucked up but preventable ways. And like we're coming to see, in this post-modern/matrix era the things going on around the world affect us in a thousand ways. So here we go.

THE GLOBAL LANDMINE CRISIS

Man suicide bombers suck. And they're scary as hell because there's only so much you can do against someone who has nothing to lose (personally, I think the gunboys and Rebels in the Congo are the true hardcore).

Suicide bombers with IED's are also mad dangerous because they have been known to blow even TANKS the hell up. And yea, I might not know exactly what it's like, but I know it really has to suck to get fragged in half by something exploding near you. Can't imagine things that suck too much more...

...except maybe that shit happening to you as a kid, with no warning, and it wasn't even done on purpose.

Now THAT fucking sucks hard for real, and it turns out is a problem all over the world; not just Iraq or the Middle East. Figures.

These pictures are from Landmines.org, which says:
A disproportionate number of victims are children, both because they are not educated about the dangers of landmines, and because their small size makes them more vulnerable to a landmine explosion.

Tomorrow i'll be broadcasting more on this and other issues. Stay tuned, it's just getting started.
