Seems there must be a few from some of the comments from 'progressives.'

2. Unregulated capitalism doesn't do very well and...
zoning laws should be better enforced.

3. I think it shows that
unfortunately, sometimes, "shit happens, no matter who you are, where you live or how much money you have/don't have. Out here in Oklahoma, we find ourselves running from tornados in the spring.

Something is liable to happen just about anywhere. Anyone taking pleasure in another's misfortune is just a pure asshat in my book.

7. Doe anyone really "own" anything?
As the old saying goes, you can't take it with you.

The capitalistic system is a broken system because it eventually creates a greed driven society that feeds on itself. Look at what is happening in California. Who started these fires? Well a good place to start would be to look at who profits from these fires? Doesn't mean thats the case. However, take a look at Katrina and September 11th. Look at the "official story" versus what we saw with our own eyes. Look at what is going on in New Orleans today.

All the so-called "systems" have become nothing more than emotionally charged terms that keep people divided.

Seems to me, many Native American tribes knew much better how to live in harmony with the earth than those who are using our tax dollars to keep building killing machines and destroying our environment.
