Subject: RE: BS: Just when it couldn't get any worse.....
For 240 years, Mother Nature's been giving the portion of the North American continent occupied by the political entity calling itself The United States a pass on really horrible natural disasters. She's been intrigued by the grand human experiment in rational self-governance taking place there and has been reluctant to kill off too many of its participants at one fell swoop lest the experiment fail. Well, it's pretty obvious now that the experiment's not working so well, so we can expect all the disasters we've been spared since 1776 to start happening pretty soon.
We apologize to our neighbors to the North where the experiment seems to still be doing fine, but when Yellowstone blows you're gonna be collateral damage.
