The freewheeling consortium blog about baseball, still hating George Bush, the weather, Chicago, live-blogging the End Times, the Chicago hot dog (NO KETCHUP!), inane rambling, and forever and always hating George Bush. ~ "Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religion." -- Bill Klem, umpire. ~ "They're really behind ya around here..." -- Lee Elia, former manager ~

Disaster Relief
When did China get better than us at disaster relief? How did this happen? Do we need to start questioning our system of government? Or is a flood just a lot harder than an earthquake? Why do so many Chinese people seem to be interested in donating blood? Why does the country seem do be drawing strength and national unity from such a disaster? Did I take a wrong turn somewhere?
I am also going to give myself bonus points for posting at 9:11 a.m.
ReplyDeleteWe could make a better comparison if a quake were to hit the Chinese equivalent of the lower 9th Ward (Tibet?), but their response looks pretty good. Building codes might warrant another look...
