myslashdotusername's Journal: I blame The sci-fi channel, and all the puppies and bunnies.

For hurricane katrina's devistatation! http://slashdot.org/~the_mad_poster/journal/116194

You know Wasn't It JUST LAST SEASON that the lost city of Atlantis (on SG:A) survived a MASSIVE HURRICANE the Size of the ENTIRE eastern seabord with a shield designed to use a ZPM operating on just 5 naquedah generators? Clearly the Sci-fi channel, and there evil compatriots the puppies and fuzzy bunnies Lead the POOR INNONCENT POVERTY STRIKEN MASSES of the inner city of New Orleans to stay in there city out of a FALSE SENSE of Security!

fuck yeah, it wasn't the thought that Hey the man is gonna be Gone We can loot this town and burn it to the f--ing ground to get back at the man who Opressed us into poverty.. and it certainly wasn't bosses saying 'you show for work day affter or i find a replacemnt for ur lazy ass' and it most definitely wasn't "damn we get these warnings 10-20 times every year, the weather man always wrong" kinda thinking Surely there couldn't have been people feeling like they were invincible ;)

seriously though, why do you think bad things like this kinda weather happens? because it has to. for all the people dying and being raped, for all the people loosing there homes, and there families, there businesses etc.. there are probabbly just as many people who've opened there eyes for the first time and realized just how petty everything they worried about was, and how much better off they really are... it might be giving some artist somewhere the inspiration to write a novel that's going to put so much emotion into the reader that they cant help but cry..

disaster? all i see is a big old part of the circle of life...
