Is it my imagination?.... or are things getting worse and worse

It seems the tempo, frequency and intensity of the calamities around
the world over the past 10 to 20 years has increased.
In the past few months, destructive earthquakes [over 6.0 Mag]
have hit China, Columbia, Japan, Greece, etc...

Food crises around the world, driven by greedy speculators,
wars and violence, by a biofuel craze, contamination, pests, disease and rotten weather are going to hit you if it hasn't already in the pocketbook.
[it sure as hell hit my budget hard already].

And I haven't mentioned global warming and its consequences
[though some of you prefer to pick and choose bits and pieces of data that fits your opinions on this topic]

So, Lee, skin color is irrelevant in these calamities.
You can just as easily perish in a tornado, from flesh-eating bacteria,
from some new flu virus, or a raging flood as anyone of color, white brown or black.
