You know, that level of self-righteousness really does make me gnash my
teeth. How someone can sit there and watch millions of people lose their
property, livelihoods and in some cases, their lives or the lives of their
loved ones, and then say "God's warning us" really makes me glad I'm not
standing in front of them, because despite myself, I might just reach out
and give them a warning of a particularly vigorous kind.
