(Delete ranting about hurricane Katrina.) And this has to do with "ER" how?? While we do often discuss off topic items here, we, also, request that they be marked as such! You have been asked to do that here and at the Law and Order newsgroup numerous times! Why is that so hard for you?? Yes, it is a major storm. It has gone from a category 1 when it hit land the first time to a category 5 when it will hit tomorrow or Tuesday! However, you cannot force people to leave if they don't want to do so. People know the ramifications and they know what it means. They recall Andrew from 1992 -- which destroyed Homestead Air Force Base and the surrounding town in Florida -- and Camille from much earlier. In addition, people have died from other natural disasters because they failed to evacuate -- the eruption of Mount St. Helen's comes to mind in 1980 or 1981, as well as many tornados and blizzards. It happens all the time. There is no reason to write a diatribe here at the ER newsgroup. If it bothers you so much, share your thoughts with people who read your blog and are interested! -- "Sometimes I think war is God's way of teaching us geography." - Paul Rodriguez .
