cease fire
It certainly didn't take long for the knives to come out regarding the hurricane. On the left, we have those who can't wait to blame Bush and the Iraq war for the slow response to the flooding. On the right, we have those who blame the victims for not having evacuated. In between, we have those of us who suspect there might, just might, be more constructive ways to invest the vast energies being expended on crass, divisive blame-games. To the blamers: although self-gratification is of paramount importance to you, most of us have other priorities this week, and those include promoting cooperation, not exacerbating divisions. Grab your checkbook or a bucket and shut the fuck up.
