I agree.
Not that we are insensitive, but that our words often get misinterpreted and appear glib. I desperately hope not another life is lost. I hope that the region fully recovers and I have faith that the region will be better.
What I'm seeing is partisanship coming before lives. I guess it shouldn't bother me, but I spent too long on the web today reading all sorts of rubbish. The HZ won't get as bad as the gas pumps you described. We can only pull out virtual hair here and virtually pummel eachother.
Nerves are fraying everywhere somewhat. Give it a few weeks and I expect folks will be cooler headed.
Hope you and the family are all safe and sound and recovering.
