Well, large parts of our country came a little closer to knowing what the rest of the world feels like as the lights went out yesterday afternoon. I've been watching some of the news coverage. The reporters are desperately trying to get people to say how angry or scared they are, but they keep insisting that this is not a major catastrophe...which is true. One reporter interviewed a father who had his infant son out on the streets of New York last night. She (the reporter) was falling over herself at this sight. At that point, I knew she was nuts. It was as if humanity was doomed, after thousands of years of civilization, to die without air conditioning. Yes, it's true, children grow to adulthood all over the globe without air conditioning...or plumbing...or immediate access to medication (I wonder how they could possibly handle all of those ADD kids). Hey media, it's called perspective, look into it.
