I will second that. Her presence in person is almost godlike. I am probably her biggest fan. She is truely an inspiration and amazingly talented.

Amazing video. Although I do have to say that those in New Orleans were / are not refugees because they never left the borders of their nation. Technically they are Internally Displaced Persons, but that is just me picking at small shit. I do love this video though it is very powerful.

on the definition of a refugee, if you care :) . Refugee is any person who was forced to leave their house forcefully under natural disasters or militant force. I think that what I recall from reading somewhere. "Internally Displaced Persons" == Refugee.

Yes, in normal language you are perfectly right. But in law there's a technical difference between the legal concepts IDP and refugee. When a refugee crosses an international border (s)he enters the legal status of the 1951 Geneva Convention and loses and gains certain legal rights. So in international law there's a distinction between refugee and IDP. For normal humans it's less relevant.

very sad:( world is so unfair

Can we just kill you and people like you ?

Even thou gh it would seem that it is the most simple solution to ridd the world of people that think like IncaPeru, i would advise the world against thaT. after all we are all humans and if people like IncaPeru are worked on, i believe that they can be made to hav a heart and conscience just like me and you...
