A Terrible Anniversary

I've written about this before, but for the last year there has been hot mud flowing from the ground in Sidoarjo, East Java. Both the government and Lapindo, the company that was drilling at the mud site, refuse to take responsibility for the victims or the material damage they've suffered. Thousands of refugees have lost everything they own and nothing is being done to aid them. Here is an article from today's Jakarta Post about the refugees.

The mud flood has vanished all people's dreams of life.They do not have any directions of what they are going to do and how they will do. Now they just wait for the powerful people's charity and God's blessing.
I am really sad some of them get stressed (crazy) and committ suicide.
