Maybe this is a way of using Mother Nature to reshape the electorate, divide the nation up, cut or control communication, allow unwanted groups to die. Maybe N.O. wasn't the screwup it appears!

Read somewhere today it is an example of how nature redistributes populations.
Politics is the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.

I've listened to several discussion on TV and NPR on the bird flu concern. Some are quite alarming, comparing the possibilities to the flu pandemic of (I think 1918). Others who are well qualified have said the danger is greatly overblown. Possibly it has been for political purposes. It is hard to tell for sure.

With regards to "Mother Nature". It seems we run into a lot of trouble when we try to "fool mother nature". Doing things like developing barrier islands and swamps. Building communities below sea level. And, numerous other things that leave us vulnerable. The natural consequences of such foolish actions puts the unwary at risk. But, isn't that part of mother natures function, to cull the unfit?
