Two minute silence

At 12:00 BST today, London and many around the world observed a two minute silence for the 48 people who died in the terrorist attacks on London on 7 July.

During those two minutes, approximately 42 children worldwide died due to poverty.

We are not going to let terrorists cause us to lose perspective.

Of course it would be very inconvenient, and pointless if only you personally felt that way, but if we all did some problems would be very quickly fixed, no?

Well, not really. We'd all be stuck in bed, slowly starving to death. Including the policy-makers. Nothing at all would happen. Now that's what I'd call indifference in action.

:o)
