An interesting article about terrorism on the home front, and what has become
the primary target of the FBI (it ain't what you think it is):

Meanwhile, in hurricane news reports you’ll hear someone say “I’m just thanking
the Lord we survived” every few minutes. I ask the TV every time, “Did you also
thank God for the storm in the first place? Did you thank God for killing all
those other people? Flooding all those towns? Destroying your home?”
It seems only insurance companies have the balls to label the WHOLE mess “an act
of God.” Everyone only wants to thank Him for the good stuff. Hey, if He (or
She, or They, or It) really existed He might have worked hard on that project
and He deserves your praise AND fear. Catch up on your Old Testament!
Maybe I’m just grumpy. Here in Atlanta there is a hint of fall in the air.
Something about the clear sky, low humidity, breeze, position of the sun,
something. Long time readers are likely painfully aware of the fall funk your
editor slips into mid-September to mid-October. But somehow the breeze this
afternoon brought a slight manic electricity to me this time. Maybe it's because
I've had a tough, depressing summer for reasons I won't go into, but for the
first time in memory I'm actually looking forward to a change of season - at
least at this exact moment. Perhaps it'll bring a change of situation and/or
attitude as well.
But hey, at least I can always say " I visited New Orleans pre-K(atrina)!"
