Acts of God

Hurricanes are not "man-caused disasters". Katrina was not the fault of George W. Bush and Sandy was not brought on by Barack Hussein Obama. Our sports utility vehicles and industrial emissions do not make storms any worse. It is a folly of hubris to think we are so powerful. As individuals and collectively as the human race, people are not powerful enough to control the weather. If we were that able to affect earth's atmosphere, then why is there no perfect climate Camelot? Why has there never been a place free from extremes of heat and cold, drought or flood, hurricanes, or other destructive weather? We would like to think we are in control but if we turn on every electric light and run every appliance in all our houses simultaneously, we still can not make a cold day outside one degree warmer.
