Something Is Missing
Something is missing in the coverage of the destruction of Greensburg, Kansas.
Forces of nature, acts of God, (or whatever your preference) caused widespread destruction in Greensburg, New Orleans, and California. Televangelists were quick to pontificate on why God chose to destroy New Orleans and California - widespread sin, abortion and homosexuality.
Surely, Greensburg must have harbored something evil. After all, besides a tornado, a 1000-pound meteorite once hit that town. Surely, the Falwells, Robertsons and their ilk will enlighten us about the moral travesties allowed in that Kansas farm town.
Also missing were TV’s talking heads lecturing us on the irresponsibility and folley of building in tornado alley. Those “experts” were also quite quick to tell us that people should not be allowed to build along the hurricane prone gulf coast and in earthquake zones in California. The repeatedly informed us that people building in disaster prone areas were causing all of us to pay higher insurance premiums.
C'mon guys. Where ya been?
