re: I care because other people's lives are put into danger trying to save these people who were idiots. I don't understand why you think that's of little consequence. It's of consequence because in this situation somewhere around 10% (wag) are going to be idiots. Can't get around it. And you've got another 15-20% who don't have the means to leave. So what the fuck are you going to do, spend your time blaming these people? What good does it do? It's like arguing with Steve on this thread, it's a waste of energy. This is really bad, probably the worst disaster in US history. It's unfolding before our eyes, with death, destruction and huge human suffering. A really great US city is being destroyed. Maybe I'm wrong... but I get the feeling that a lot of people really don't care. That they are more entertained than empathetic. That to them this is just another reality series, or another disaster movie with computer generated graphics. That they have seen so many fantasy disasters, that they can't tell the fantasy from the real thing. John
