Major Disasters: are they Major enough?
I think natural disasters are good for humanity, like war is the hygiene of the world. I can think of no better or proven means to establish a general redistrbution of wealth. We just need more of them. See people rise to the challenges, help each other out, concentrate on what's important. I support terrorism, of a kind. I loved the Guardian reader's chattering response to Bush: 'how can you declare war on an abstract concept'? Indeed, so I make it known here that I can't be expected to advocate an abstraction either. All the same, terror hasn't really existed as an abstract concept before. I know I support it in its substance, but I don't know as yet in what form. By corrupting the language, disrupting institutions and collectives, or cultures?
Any group mentality, including nationalism/patriotism, is like falling hopelessly and suspiciously in love with the girl next door if you ask me. A pitiable proximity syndrome.
