A couple weeks ago, I watched the movie Blood Diamond with my wife and some friends. Apart from being a wonderful film, this movie had quite the moving affect on me. For the first time, I felt a strong desire to move over seas to help the poor. Now, that is not to say that I have never wanted to help the poor until this movie, but this was the first time like I ever felt that I needed to move away from America. Not that I absolutely am in love with this country, but I do have a big heart for it’s people. Yet now, I find myself questioning the importance of the needs of the American people, vs. the dire needs elsewhere. Why worry about the people here, who are mostly okay, when there are children in Africa that go about murdering and pillaging as the norm? For a few days, this thought had me tied in a knot. Until I got settled back into my cushy office, working on websites to help other people get rich. Then today I come across this article, or gallery rather, that puts some statistics that we have all heard about America, into proportion with some clever use of images. The one featured here is a portion of one piece that shows 213,000 vicodin pills, which represents the number of emergency room visits yearly in US related to misuse or abuse of prescription painkillers. Some of these photos blow my mind..
