I have an uncle who lives in England, and he sent me an email telling me that horrible storms have hit the UK, killing five people.  The country is under flood alert.  I don’t remember hearing about this on the news anywhere, and it makes me wonder why.  I don’t know if I just wasn’t paying attention, or if it just didn’t get very much coverage here in the US.  It seems to me that sometimes “we” are a little bit too self-centered and egotistical and don’t pay enough attention to what is going on in the rest of the world unless it has a direct impact on “American Interests” – which means corporate profits!
