It happens everyday. You have a small crack in your windshield and procrastinate until it’s so large, rain water starts leaking in your car…then you’ll get it fixed. We all procrastinate, but it annoys me to no end that it takes something drastic or a tragedy for us to make a change.

It shouldn’t take a teen dying in a car accident at a dangerous intersection without a stop sign or traffic light to have one installed there after years of requests from the people who live in that area…yet sadly enough that’s often the case.

Yes, we absolutely need to help Haiti in their time of need, but is it not as tragic that we have millions of people in this country who can’t read or fill out a job application? Is it not as tragic that we have children who are failing in school or going hungry?

There are everyday tragedies and crises in this country…will you respond?
