What IMonk sees. And it’s not good. But it can be.

LATER: Eric linked to this post - thanks, friend. In his comments I posted:

What keeps coming to my mind is the huge reaction difference between this and 9/11. The only thing I can think of is the “who to blame” factor is central.

After 9/11 we had a clear culprit at whom we could direct our anger - 20 specific people: Osama bin Laden, 19 hijackers, and in a larger sense Al Qaeda.

There’s no one to blame for this natural disaster and so people are blaming whomever is next to them - the President, the Governors, the Mayors, the police, the military, etc.

I have to clarify - my mother raised this thought last night when we were talking. It stuck with me all day today as I watched the coverage and again when I read the IMonk essay.
