I just realized I have said nothing about Katrina. On the internets, I mean. So I think I speak for Wifeypants and myself when I say that it is a tragedy, and our hearts go out to all y'all. The thing is, I don't get nearly as upset over things like this than I do when large groups of ppl are put into the same situation as the ppl in New Orleans right now, only they are put there by another human and/or collective human stupidity. A natural distaster is just the price we pay for living on Earth. It is often a heavy and sucky tragic price, but at least it's not deliberate. Also: gov't response? I've gotten to the point where I expect virtually nothing from our gov't. We can conduct horrific scientific experiments on our gov't, and I doubt we'd get any response. At all. I'm almost ready to start the autopsy on our gov't.

There is a Tao to tragedy ... while this one is bigger then most tragedies will happen again and again. It is the natural flow of things. But they say that "Tao is How" and what can be controlled is "How" we react. Our goverment is a disgrace and the leader of that goverment should probably be in jail, not the Whitehouse. Luckily the people seem top have taken it upon themselves to act. This is a good thing. Tragedies test us all ... I guess the best we can do is to steel ourselves for the next one and hope that situations like this one don't rob us of our hope.

It is a sad sad thing, but like you say, it is simply the price for living on earth. She has her mood swings, like all women.

Your abbreviation of government reminds me of Mr McElman.
