Kurt Vonnegut said a very amusing, but possibly perceptive, thing on the Daily Show last night. Something to the effect that the Earth's immune system is trying its best to kill us. We are indeed, as agent Smith wisely noted, a virus.
When it comes right down to it, the flooding of New Orleans and the ravishment of the Gulf Coast is all due to human development in those areas. We can blame the government for not shoring up the levees, but those levees are part of the problem. There is no ultimate solution to our benefit for these problems. They are manmade, and nature will trump man in the end.
