Some people are reacting to the hurricane by calling it God's judgment. They didn't do that when Grand Forks flooded due to a lack of systems to protect it. Funny, isn't it? Grand Forks gets sympathy; New Orleans gets judgmentalism.
Barbara Bush managed to see the cynical bright side for the victims, and will probably be forever remembered by that. It reminds me of Ann Richards' comment on her son, "born with a silver boot in his mouth." It's too bad that her image becomes so tarnished, because she is such a likable lady.
Jesus' reaction to such tragedies was, "unless you repent, you shall likewise perish."
