Point A to Point B

I've always held a certain fascination for landmines. A weapon not to kill but to maim. I'm not sure which is worse, but landmines seem to have this inherent cruelness about them and the way they are used. Maybe because most of the time victims are civilians not soldiers.

On Monday, for arms control we watched a documentary on landmine activists and some of the work they do. This brought back memories of a documentary I watched on Discovery not long ago. It's really heart breaking watching kids have stumps instead of legs and feet. When walking to school involves walking over a known mind field.

So go on. Be emo about being a poor student living in Singapore. Take everything for granted.

And some people wonder, "What's it like to get from Point A to Point B without help?"
