Why did the weather do what it did?

"The stench of corruption [from the White House] has grown so foul, that even the talking heads at Fox are finding it hard to fumigate their evening broadcast." ~ Jean Carnahan

"Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth." ~ Charles A. Dana

Sometimes we are so caught up in our own struggles we tend to forget the misfortunes of others. These past few weeks, the states of TN, AR, MO and parts of numerous other sections of other states have been struck with the force of violent storms dropping out of the sky.

Where are the talking heads now, speaking about the wrath of an omnipotent God and his disgust with the people that inhabit the vile areas around Marmaduke, AR and Gallatin, TN. It is because the self righteous find it much easier to raise alarm at big city problems, than the meth labs in trailers in rural southern communities and the abuse families suffer at the hands of overwork and alcohol. Racing on Sunday keeps as many people away from church as does ineffectual witnessing.

Nothing against the most popular sport in modern America, but beer, tight t-shirts, speed, loud engines and even louder mouth fans are not the evangelical's best friend. So why did all the open land in TX and OK burn, also? Same reasons that the hurricanes hit the gulf coast, maybe.

But more likely it is because they have had fewer years of constant rainfall in the last several than you could count and the policies of most conservatives don't plan for water conservation, only money conservation for the wealthy. Again the moral and ethics of Christians are in conflict with the policies of the politically conservative agenda and they stick with "Johnny two note" on only anti-abortion and the marriage amendment; when there are so many other issues that need their attention.
