the butterfly effect: philippine hostage drama

It has been said that something as small
as the flutter of a butterfly's wing
can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world.

This is what I would call a great example of what the butterfly effect is. Someone decided somewhere that a police officer should get fired for unbecoming behavior and fires that police officer. It all ends in a bloodbath inside a tourist bus on a fine Monday morning. Who would have thought it would all lead to this? The Philippines is now in the news once again and all because one day, someone fired an officer.

Crazy huh? Sad too ... sad for those lives lost for no good reason at all. Sad for the reputations tarnished ... sad for the senselessness of it all.

It is a tragedy. This is another black moment in our history.
