please note, i do not "frown upon pressing for REAL answers." do you really think that is what i'm saying? to clarify: finding answers is important. extraordinarily important. ... tomorrow.
c'mon, you don't think that has to take a back seat for the next, oh, 24 hours? 48? there aren't more important things to take care of first? the blame game can, and will, go on forever, and the indeterminable answers will always be the same. if bush is the demonic cause behind all this, will discussing it now make any more difference than discussing it next thursday? can we wait until after labor day to call this natural disaster the latest iraq war? or "vietnam III"?
my main disagreement is not with your fault finding -- its with immediate, knee-jerk reaction in fault finding. "bush didn't lower global sea level, people died!" etc. its disgraceful. hell, there are normally people on this very board here to agree or disagree with you that are not here right now because they're directly affected by this. but pointing a finger, and then high-fiving yourself for pointing said finger, is more important than worrying about them, right?
shouldn't the priority be helping out? being sad? worried? expressing your concerns over the loss of life, or the loss of states? is it so shameful to think the "APPROPRIATE" response is to send money for helping out?
can we leave politics to tomorrow and, instead, sorta unite as a weird collection of people just really upset and/or worried and/or scared and/or concerned with what just happened?
