Reply #58: good analogy

[marions ghost]

This whole "no one is dead" argument is not only ignorant, it's so insulting to the people who have been severely affected, the "walking dead" especially. And this is WHILE the plant is still spewing and the effects cannot be quantified...

Brilliant people, yet stupid. They are everywhere. These are people who easily compartmentalize. They rationalize all fears away. They have learned how not to feel anything but their own concerns. It's hard to reconcile high intelligence with such an apparent callousness towards other human beings. They have no real wisdom, no matter how old they are.
