Maybe the right-wing punks who think nature is expendable will think
twice after this storm. If one of these storms ever maintains its

Limbaugh might get the point.


Except that he doesn't live there anymore, though many in his family
still do. I knew his father and Rush when he was a kid. I have family
living in Poplar Bluff, Kenett and many other parts of Missouri. They
will all get had by the earthquake when that fault goes.


I know it was just his boyhood home, but I can envision a future
global-warming induced superstorm remaining at category 3+ that far
inland.

My point is that Man is causing a great deal of the damage we blame on
nature. In many ways the landscape evolved to protect itself from
extremes, but in the blind race to accommodate growth, people tamper
with natural buffers and dismiss the consequences. Another example is
cutting down too many trees, which creates more mud-slides.

If any other species behaved like Man we'd call it a plague.
