Right.  This storm is the latest example of how Mother Nature is always ready to hand \
out the beatdowns and do Very Bad Things to the human race.   With the threat of \
illness, injury, or death always hovering in the background, there's very little need \
for us to do Very Bad Things to each other if we can help it.

(Though that's easier said than done, I know, what with Mother Nature having equipped \
the human race with egos and all.)


Best,

James Fraser
