Go ahead, I continue to stand by my point precisely because of my respect for those who suffer or die in any situation or circumstances. Or does anyone remember my Iowa ethanol blunder? True, I was a bit mercurial then, but no body in fact died, it was a business catastrophe if anything, and it wasn't a matter of the divine justice as the way I framed my joke about it, but that human beings happen to build large settlements in some of the worst places geographically precisely because the scale we and the Earth operate on are very different. If folks like me attribute this gap to God that is our business, but even the nihilist could admit that things like weather and geology patterns clearly operate on different scales which at times collide with humans in devastating ways. Isn't that the moral of Pompeii in the first place or is it just to revel in the destruction and loss?
I may at times be pompous and an opinionated jack ass like Charles Winchester the Third here but one thing I am never is disrespectful or irreverent to the suffering and the dead.
Again then, God Have Mercy on the Souls of those who passed..
