Katrina fallout
We're now seeing the Katrina fallout, not just the tremendous loss in lives and property, but the "Hey, I'm going to use this disaster to promote the righteousness of my own views!" fallout.
For the record, Katrina is not the worst hurricane ever to hit the US, nor are the last two years the worst hurricane years on record. So go put your global warming rhetoric back in your pocket.
This is also not God's revenge for Mardi Gras sinfulness.
And it's not Allah's revenge for U.S. policies in the mid-east either.
And it's not a secret NASA weather experiment gone awry either. (I only mention that here because it's as unfounded as the others.)
If it's a sign of anything, then maybe, just maybe, it's a sign that it's not such a good idea to build a city on semi-tropical coast below sea level! I don't know for sure, but I was just thinking...
So for now, get out your checkbooks and do what you can to help these folks out. And start buying building-supply stocks.
