I'm stuck home with an intestinal flu and so have been over dosing on CNN coverage. Several things have occurred to me.
Looting -- I have some real mixed emotions about the looting. My first thought "shoot 'em, that'll stop it". Then again to the extent that these are people who have lost everything and are stealing goods that are just going to be put in the trash when the water recedes and the clean up starts, it is hard to object.
Cost -- I'm not taking any kind of political position here, just curious. I wonder how the cost of clean up and rebuilding compares with cost of the Iraq war.
New Orleans -- I now know that the city is built below sea level. But how did that happen. I mean I'm sure no one said "Hey, let's build some dikes and then build a city below sea level." What's the history here ? How did this happen ?
Global warming -- I do believe that the increased frequency and severity of tropical storms is another spin off of global warming.
Just some random musings.
