The additude I hear from most politicians of the religious right is one of Katrina being an Act of God. Something to run from, nothing you can do about. This colors everything they do or think. It’s coming, RUN! not let’s prepare, check food supplies, call out the guard, inspect the dikes. Katrina was already ranked as the largest storm in 30 years. Did no one think about the dikes? The Bush said personally, that no one expected the dikes to break. But his was a storm greater than any before, and no one could think out of the box?
The ‘Act of God’ thing colors everything, from Katrina, to Global Warming, of which Katrina is a result. Global warming is an Act of God, not of man, we can do nothing. Katrina is an Act of God we can do nothing.
Time to change tack, time to change attitude, time to change governments.
