The greatest man-made, uh natural, disaster

America bless God.

Hurricane Katrina reminded me of this bumper sticker about another place, same time. I don't really think the hurricane was God's fault.  As in the insurance language, "acts of God." Some American facts that the other 96% of the world already knows and is constantly, and in vain, trying to communicate to us in U.S.

#1. With just 4% of the world's population, we use up 35% of the world's resources, like energy.
#2. The U.S. is the biggest polluter of carbin dioxide at 23%, thus the greatest contributor to global warming.
#3 The U.S. refuses to conserve energy, develop alternative transportation, or decrease pollution with the Kyoto accords.
#4. The Gulf is 2 degrees warmer now due to global warming, thus increasing the frequency and intensity of hurricane.

Conclusion: fill in the blank.  (photo of Two Jesters, the group LERN hired for its conference in New Orleans in November, now obviously  and sadly moved to a new city)

PS: Give to Red Cross relief or join LERN's relief effort.

Correction: Two Jesters is still located in New Orleans. We had minimal wind damage. Our business has been hurt by the lack of conventions and budgets. But we are still here and still working.
