Freddogg Off The Chain

Twenty, if not thirty years ago, I stood in front of my classroom and told my students, ”If the rich people haven’t bought up all the beach front property and built big obnoxious houses with great views then don’t let your poor ass ‘shack it up’ because when the wind blows it's a sure sign that the Bay of Bengal is about to rise 20 feet quicker then you can scream “Neil Frank” and run to the high ground that ain’t nowhere around.

Natural disasters-some simply call them god- have been dogging people in that region before the Concert for Bangladesh was conceived by George Harrison back when it was East Pakistan and a cyclone could claim 10 thousand people then five years later claim 10 thousand more.

We know pride and pestilence is nature’s way of cleansing the planet and we are nature which is why I don’t live in Camden New Jersey where my fellow man would just as soon shoot me that ask for directions to the aquarium where he mother was baptized.

What do you think of all this because the evidence is pretty convincing, either natural disasters are selective, preferring poor people or it’s some heavenly plan? And don't start talking about the San Diego fire.
