Wow, I wouldn't want to go through what you are seeing, Krish. Bless you for your kind service to these people who are where they are because of stupidity.

Ignorance is something that is tough to abide. Well done.

So true, Caren. And, unfortunately, we can do so little about it, except take a personal stand.

For sure; God and his creation are so misunderstood -- God wishes no harm, brings no harm (He weeps over our suffering) -- it is the result of our God Given Freewill. God did not bring destruction alone to Sodom...our behavior propelled His Omnipotent Hand.

Child sacrifice and Cannibalism comes to mind, but oh well.

I can mourn the deaths of the innocent, but i cannot mourn the ignorant ones who cause some of those deaths. On second thought, I guess ignorance can be excused, but not stupidity. Your message is loud and clear, Milt.

Greed rules. Who would believe California would never have another earthquake, or dock strike?

Thanks so much, Jenna. I hear what you are saying, and I, too, think "ignorance can be excused, but not stupidity." Way too much stupidity out there to suit me!
