I think today has been a true test for people worldwide with the London England riots, world market reactions to the S&P U.S. credit rating downgrade ... and dozens of less publicized incidents, I'm sure.

The world has made me very sad lately; I don't understand why we have to make it so hard for each other. I don't expect us all to get along, but there's a way to live with tolerance. It seems we've lost a basic understanding of others.

This is the song I hear in my head today:



Unnecessary, stupid destruction.
