I’m with you.

It is odd how people laugh at the misfortunes of others. Reminds me of an older time, before the advent of Christ, before man “evolved.” As the Roman poet Lucretius said:

“Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another’s great tribulation.”

I thought we were better than that now.

Then again, we did elect Obama, so...

Will the media blame Obama for this, just like they blamed Bush for Katrina?

“we did elect Obama?”

“we?”

I didn’t.

I don't know what brings this out in people. It's ugly, but it seems to be part of human nature. I hope that none of the people saying those ugly things consider themselves Christian, because I really can't imagine those remarks coming from the mouth of a Christian.
