SA: I figured you understood this. I was pointing out the shift in
attention as a nation that has just happened. After 9/11, national
security was huge. Now after this economic crisis, even national
security has to relate to economics or else national security is not
perceived as being important enough. Our perception has been
narrowed in a way too. Two hurricanes have come close, and I don't
even know if that one hit Maine or not. The news is hovering around
this economic crisis. Even hurricanes are on the back burner and
may not even reach the minds of many people in this culture as they
approach. I watched the hurricane come closer and closer to the
U.S. and it wasn't even on the news yet. This was the hurricane
that came close or may have hit Maine this past week. I watched it
on this website. It's a good animation of precipitation cloud cover
of the world on one animation map. After it hit Puerto Rico and
went into the Atlantic closer
and closer to the U.S. for the first time it was one of the many
headlines on google and yahoo, didn't hear about it on TV cable
news. My point. So much importance in coverage is hovering around
the economy that many big events are being swept off to the side as we speak.

Is it so overwhelming that it paralyzes? I think it is, and I think
it does. Chop wood, carry water and a few acts of kindness. I try
to stay aware. I don't call Washington for me.
