I usually don't throw around the word 'fabulous,' but how else to describe buildings decorated with mirrored water dragons, serpents tiled in colored glass, and hundreds - no, thousands, no, tens of thousands - of gold-leaf Buddhas? Luang Prabang has more than 47,000 residents, but its Buddha population must be ten times that.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich werfe normalerweise nicht um das Wort "fabelhaft" herum, aber wie soll ich sonst Gebäude beschreiben, die mit gespiegelten Wasserdrachen, mit farbigem Glas gefliesten Schlangen und hunderten (nein, tausenden, nein, zehntausenden) Goldblatt-Buddhas geschmückt sind? Luang Prabang hat mehr als 47.000 Einwohner, aber seine Buddha-Bevölkerung muss das Zehnfache sein.

On Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of first responders heroically rushed to the scene and saved tens of thousands of lives. More than 400 of those first responders did not make it out alive. In rushing into those burning buildings, not one of them asked, 'What God do you pray to?' What beliefs do you hold?'

Ebola isn't a respiratory virus. It doesn't spread through the airborne route. So it's not likely to spread like wildfire around the world and kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. That's what I think of as the next big one.

What is real is that adultery destroys tens of thousands of families every year across America. What is real is that adultery scars tens of thousands of children emotionally and psychologically every year. What is real is that adultery is an open wound in a relationship which more often than not overflows into domestic violence or worse.
