Now is the time for us to exploit that uneasy survival instinct keeping our friends and neighbors awake at night. We could start by talking about insurance. Will the flood and disaster insurance pay? When you have an Administration and a Congress that are in the pocket of the insurance industry, at what point does bribery become cheaper than paying out fair claims? Pretty early on, is my suspicion.

No geographic area is safe. There are twisters in the plains states, hurricanes along the coasts, mudslides from torrential rains in California, and droughts in the west. Worse, global warming will lead to outbreaks of disease, which, in our interconnected world, can travel around the world almost instantaneously. Do you trust this guy in a catastrophe of any type, even in a red state? Do you want
Blackwater
thugs "securing " your property after a disaster?

How many of us truly believe we can weather the uncertainties of dangerous and unpredictable climate change under a brutal, elitist, every-man-for-himself regime? It 's an assessment that might make even the staunchest (or richest) Republican blanch.

Time to put aside bogus political divisions. When someone who is willing to diss Bush says the Democrats aren 't any better, don 't disagree. They 're right.

We have to start making some noise, and the first thing we should scream about is busting the Katrina diaspora out of their illegal refugee camps. These people saw what happened. They can 't be talked out of it. They are living witnesses to the murderous intentions of the Bushitters toward American citizens. Like Cindy Sheehan, they have lost everything. They can speak outside the MSM because they are real.

I personally believe there are still quite a few halfway decent human beings in this country, if they can just get their heads out of their asses. The polls prove it.
