Explanation: This is what the Earth looks like at night. Can you find your favorite country or city? Surprisingly, city lights make this task quite possible. Human-made lights highlight particularly developed or populated areas of the Earth's surface, including the seaboards of Europe, the eastern United States, and Japan. Many large cities are located near rivers or oceans so that they can exchange goods cheaply by boat. Particularly dark areas include the central parts of South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The above image is actually a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the orbiting DMSP satellites.

We might kiss when we are alone... When nobody's watching... We might take it home... We might make out... When nobody's there... It's not that we're scared... It's just that it's delicate... We might live like never before... When there's nothing to give... Well how can we ask for more... We might make love in some sacred place... The look on your face is delicate

Looking at pics like these I am just wishing that this meteor would arrive soon and crush all this misery to pieces. Africa is dying folks, still dying. And you SO can see it there.

So instead of doing all you can to help, you'd rather let a meteor come and blow up the country, killing all those people?

 

Let's not forget that the only reason those people are dying is because we're not doing all we can. Sure, we say we're doing all we can, but they're really just excuses. We're only helping to an extent. Further more, TV ads are being aired to urge people to help, yet pretty much most of the people who see them, don't call or do anything about it. :ermm:

 

Sorry, but I've gotta disagree.

Wow! :o Thank you so much! That pic is REALLY beautiful!

I'll save it on my disk! :P

yeah, that's pretty amazing. But i think it's a reconstitution (i don't know if we can say that in english) because when some of us are in the night the others are in the light, so...
