DU disaster karaoke....everybody sing!
For be it a hurricane, California wildfire, whatever calamity, it surely brings out some true colors, no? And a-one, and a-two......


How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to give in
Easy to help out

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

4. It's a silent kind of thing. "Dedicated to the One I Loathe"
Or two or three.

3. I haven't seen the hard-hearted ones here tonight, as yet...
but I did cackle like a hyena when I saw the YouTube video of Geraldo getting knocked over by a wave.

Everything else about this day has been too worrisome so far, and I have a feeling that tomorrow will be awfully sad.

5. Geraldo getting slammed by the wave was hilarious.
This is more in mind of "the people who die tonight were too stupid to live" kind of posts. Look around.

8. I get you now, or should I say, I found it...
and yes, the "I'm the only one who matters in the whole wide world" persona that some tend to take on during times when most seek to draw together and share compassion and express empathy has been a puzzle to me, for a long time. Deliberate aggravation like that seems to have a purpose or it may just be a reflection of the trend our country leans to, which makes it even scarier.

It's related to the straps of jackboots, I do believe.

9. I maintain that the people who stayed to face Ike are stupid
But they don't deserve to die. That's just an awful thing to say.

And after a couple hours reading here, some people just get their kicks being nasty.

Thanks for the thought and the song.
