Catastrophes and deaths...

[wolven7]

The amount of human deaths due to natural events is on the steady rise, recently. Burma, China, and then here in the US, in Missouri, Oklahoma and Georgia. We're rapidly approaching 200,000 deaths, within the past nine days, with more being tallied, by the day.

Earthquakes, Cyclones, Tornados...

A parannoid would suspect some kind of a super-sonic weather-making device.

Mason: Nah, five deaths is not a disaster. Five's bullshit. 6 to 20, disaster; 21 and up, catastrophe; 8 to 15 is a calamity.
Rube: "7 and under?"
Mason: Thats a crying shame.

Weather control machine? There is a G.I. Joe movie coming, maybe this is viral marketing?

Wow... That's how I would know for absolute certain that we lived in the Neuromancer/Snow Crash/Transmetropolitan future...

How close to done are you, with chapter 2, by the way?

If there is such a thing, whomever has their finger on the button needs to step it up. Over 350,000 births a day compared to only about 160,000 deaths normally...that 200,000 only evens out one day of the nine.

True. I wish there were a way to get more people to recognise the weight of humans, at present.

of course if you've participated at all in ryam & my on-going debate about how best to thin the herd, you know that i favor natural disaster over a pandemic of something with a 99% fatality rate.

i am deeply impressed by the number of people killed in recent natural disasters, by which i mean, that while i am sorry to have so many people cut down in the prime of their lives i am also surprised at just how many people got killed in one go.

however, in the example of china, being around 8100 at this moment, i feel the need to note that the number isnt even one tenth of one percent of the Chinese population (in fact most minority villages have a high population count). if someone does in fact have a weather machine and is endeavoring to either lower the price of oil or kill off large portions of the human population - they need to aim the dam thing better and think big.
