I think clevemire's got the right idea, about god at least...as to the whole 'disaster' thing, most people who aren't directly involved with it won't care anyways. I was disinterested in 9/11, I watched maybe half an hour of it on the TV, then I ignored it. I caught up with the latest news via newspapers over the next few weeks...although there really wasn't much else NEW about it. but even now, years later, people remember it as 'the greatest american tragedy in history'. know what that means? IT MEANS THE TERRORISTS DID WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO. they committed a single act, and they are going to be remembered, reviled, and feared forever because of it.

and people never forget the bad shit that happens. I can remember when I was four years old, I rode a horsey-toy thing down a flight of stairs and put my head through a window. but I can't remember the name of the teacher who taught me to read, or any of my friends from kindergarten...why is it that humanity will remember the bad times, but the good are forgotten?
