Troubled

I know it sounds like a silly thing when compared to all the human suffering around the world, but I am really really upset by the news of the looting of the Bagdad Museum and Libraries. I guess its because I love libraries and history so much, and that region has the earliest of our history. The Hammurabai tablets -the first law tablets, gone. Extremely important papyrus, clat tablets, and artifacts from the first cities, likewise gone. Losing the treasures doesn't bother me as much as the loss of all this knowledge of day to day life and clues to the workings of the earliest societies. It's just very sad, like the burning of the library of Alexandria. So senseless.

Now for petty distraction. Cos dude, so depressing. ( Monday Mission )
