Dear Andy, What do you think? In YOUR belief system, what caused the disaster to happen? Let me know and I'll tell you a little bit of what the MANY differences of opinions for some of this are... But, why don't you let ME know, for a change, why something like this happens? There are so very many points of view in life--do you recognize that? Do you recognize that there are many many sects even within Christianity (and other belief systems)? Sometimes I am not clear as to whether or not you are aware of that--sometimes it seems that you lump everyone together (esp if they happen to live in a 'red' state...) Thinking about the at-least-one-of-Our-Listmates who lives in (I think) Mississippi and thinking it is time for a Roll Call--even for the Lurkers, Marlena in Missouri
