Nice. So we get a little flooding in Lousiana, and the only people hurt by it were the people that were too stubborn to leave, even after they were repeatedly told to. They've seen hurricanes before, they know what they're like. They made a conscious decision to stay. And everybody is completely fucking heartbroken that they're in danger, right? Our entire nation comes to a standstill as everyone sits glued to his TV watching the same god damn 30 seconds of footage of flooding and rescue operations, pretending that they genuinely care what happened half way across the country.
Now, 18,000 (that's eighteen THOUSAND) people die in an earthquake, of which they couldn't have had any real warning, and we get a paragraph in Yahoo! news. What a beautiful fucking world.
