It's the wrath of God? nah, it's karma

The press is gleeful about reporting quotes from the usual suspects that the Texas hurricane is God's wrath for gay marriage or whatever, but now we have the left saying it's Karma for voting for Trump.

And the pseudo scientific types say it's global warming, and Gaia is punishing you for your sins of not recycling or something.

It's not sin: it has to do with weather patterns that predate the republic of Texas.

And never mind that Galveston has the highest rate of hurricane activity in the USA, (and is right down the street from Houston: Where are the stories of the cities along the coast, by the way?)

Galveston, Texas in the Gulf of Mexico has the highest rate of hurricane activity than anywhere else in the USA. The Gulf area reports more hurricane activity than any other part of the US.

so gee, the Southern US has a lot of hurricanes. The Midwest has hurricanes, and tornadoes. And don't get me started with snowstorms in New England. California? Earthquakes and drought.

I'm so glad we live in the Philippines, where we only have to put up with earthquakes, mudslides, floods, typhoons and Dengue fever...

We live in a scientific age, but one wouldn't know it on the editorial pages or tweets by the usual suspects..

how does that song go?

Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

and these things are not exactly God's wrath, although we do believe God permits evil, he permits these things for a reason. Place easy answers here.

and the press is actually finding photos of how locals are helping each other.

guess they need a new thing to complain about:

Oh LOOK: Melania is wearing high heels!

(actually she changed shoes in the plane, but never mind. the stories already had been posted).
