misscamThe whole aftermath of Katrina is leaving me slightly... Uneasy. The European reaction in general seems to be torn between WTFgitis and unease at how fast civilization can turn to anarchy. Three meals away from anarchy, isn't that how it goes? I wasn't expected an illustration example of that in the US. But then again, perhaps I should have. Humans are humans everywhere. Take away the essential needs to survive and it won't much matter what was before.
I worry about the US. What this hurricane has come to show so far has not eased my worry one bit. But the future is still being framed in every new day that dawns and we may still make things better. And so, I'll hope for the US too. For all of us and those who will inherit the world we're making too.
In that vein, the election in Norway is in less than a weel and though I have my clear preferences in what I want, I don't feel that horrified if the election don't go my way. Really, most politicians in Norway are in agreement on most issues and what seperates them are not as wide as what ties them together. And the same is true for most of Norway, I think. In a small country, this is of course easier and I find myself once again feeling lucky.
That said, I still itch to have a new prime minister. Oh yes.
Muse may have tentatively returned and I'm writing a wee bit on Shades of Dawn and various requests. Still feeling tired and a bit knocked out by life of late, so have some patience with me, darlings.
In the news:
Multiple failures caused relief crisis (Interesting article, certainly in view of who is blaming who for what.)
Patrolling the 'Venice from hell' (Be warned - there is at least one image of the dead in that article.)
World press discusses Katrina
A viewpoint on the US media's reaction
US asks EU and NATO for help
Norway offers aid to the US, no reply as of yet
Krekar makes vague threat against Norway (We will not send him to Iraq until guaranteed he won't face the death penalty and things become more organised down there, which seems like it might take a while. So we're stuck with him. Joys of joys.)
A meme:
Authors leave an imprint on the stories they write. Is there a line you've found in a fanfic to capture something about me? Post it here, then do the same in your LJ if you so want.
