Public policy, social issues, gender politics, religion, civitas, and other taboo topics fall under the hammer of Shava's iconoclasmic force of natural philosophy.

Johnstown Flood and Katrina
Tuesday, September 06, 2005
2:57 PM
Today on a folklore email list I'm on, a southern professor asked, "What is the place of floods in American folklore, which we can compare to Katrina?" And although it hadn't even occured to me until that second, I immediately compared Katrina and the Johnstown Flood which swept away about 2200 in 1889.
Katrina and the Johnstown Flood are both natural disasters amplified hugely by the negligence of the monied.
I think it's a decent comparison of two indecent events.
