random thought of the moment:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. — C.S. Lewis, The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment

Vultures Capitalize on Katrina

September 6th, 2005 by Funky Dung

This is just disgusting. May God give me to strength to forgive these vultures' trespasses as He forgives mine.

Hurricane Katrina has spawned more than misery and destruction—a new wave of scam e-mails and Web sites are exploiting the tragedy. Phony Web sites and e-mails, purporting to offer help to hurricane victims or provide more news on the destruction, are making their rounds on the Internet, security experts said Thursday.

I pray these scammers are caught and sentenced to many months of disaster relief work.
