Has everyone else seen the pictures from the area?  It looks like a bombed out war zone.  Terrible.

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

Yes! It is horrible to say the least. . . and depressing. . . I cannot watch any more media coverage of the "personal experiences and tragedies". . . Unless someone is willing to administer an thorazine drip to me until all these storm systems stop "training" over us!  :eek: :eek: :eek:

Understood.  I can hardly take the way the media covers these personal tragedies anymore.
