This site is a lot of things, a journal, a "blog", a collection of photos and thoughts of my travels, musings on history, philosophy, Christianity, and science, and also some technical information on Macs and PCs. Hope you find it useful and interesting! This site uses Quicktime "progressive" streaming (I'll be supporting ReadMedia and Windows Media in the near future.) Except for Quicktime technology from Apple Computer Corp., this site uses Open Source software, indicated below. Specifically, the computer hosting this site runs Red Hat Linux, Version 9.0, uses Apache as the web server, uses PHP to serve dynamic content, and stores data using a MySQL database server, all freely available, secure, very customizable, and of the highest quality. (Can you tell, I'm a little biased..). Well enough of that...

The Meaning of Katrina Hide Details
(Updated: 2005/09/05 13:17:12 PST)
Since the devastation caused by hurricane Katrina earlier this week, we have seen
an incredible amount of suffering. One is reminded of the Tsunami that hit Southeast Asia over Christmas last year.
One thing that really struck me is that in spite of our technology and wealth, we were pretty helpless in the face of Katrina's fury. But great natural disasters are like that, they show us how vulnerable and fragile we really are.
Perhaps, more surprising to me was how quickly lawlessness engulfed the city. The rapes, looting, suicide and anarchy were unprecedented. It took only 3 days to descend to this level of madness.
We should do everything in our power to help those who have lost their homes, their families, and their businesses. But in helping those who have suffered through this tragedy, we should also approach this episode in our nation's history with some humility.
We can't say to ourselves it couldn't happen to us; I'm above that sort of thing. After all, would we really fare any different if subjected to the same conditions as those unfortunate enough to be there during and after the hurricane? How many of us, normally so civilized and refined, would resort to the same levels of depravity?
I think the real meaning of Katrina is that more important than losing our wealth and our modern conveniences, we can lose our humanity. All it takes is 3 days.
