So I read this news story about how hurricane Katrina supposedly affected american opinions greatly. All I read was that fools have become even more foolish. I hope these aren't the americans I live with.

On a side note I was just thinking about how they show gansters or loan sharks or whatever killing people or beating people when they can't pay back a loan. That doesn't make any sense. All you get is a dead body on your hands and no money. It would make much more sense to simply wage a psycological war on them and their finances until you extract your money. Beating somebody doesn't make you pay them back faster. That whole thing that is portrayed in movies and whatnot about these people using pain or death to enforce their "business" is senseless. I was just thinking about this watching some movie. Why do they keep showing that stuff as being an effective tactic. They never rarely ever portray it as the stupid ineffective action it is.

I read a story called The Hinterlands. It was spooky as all get out.
