News events of the past couple days have convinced me our best weapon to minimize hurricane damage and fatalities would be to drop a 10MP/B bomb (MP/B=Million Politician/Bureaucrat) in the hurricane eye, ideally while it's still at sea. Of course, being unable to locate 10 million of the asses should in no way prevent us from making a best effort attempt.

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
