You know, FloraG, after the Boxing Day Tsunami, someone told me that God had punished all those dead people for being Muslim. I thought at the time that that was the most insensitive, tasteless comment I'd heard in my life.

Thank you SO much for providing me with a new one for my collection! And I'm sure all those rich homeless folk (after all, all Americans are rich, don't you know?) will thank you for enriching their lives with your philosophical gem...

(Remember Hurricane Katrina and all those dead or homeless Black millionaires? Oh, hang on a sec - they weren't rich? Oops!).
