Look what's been going on, just around this continent lately. Tragedy in the south - a disturbing lack of response co-ordination, and a frightful descent into the proverbial base state of mankind. It can still raise eyebrows, even now, witnessing the behaviors exhibited by a percentage of people when confronted with events like we saw in New Orleans. Not necessarily a reversal of moral evolution, but perhaps a statement that maybe that evolution never actually occurred.

Does the fact that so many are reduced to looting, rape and murder when confronted with crisis illustrate that our society is merely window dressing to the base carnal nature that honestly hasn't changed one bit in the last few thousand years? It's sad to think so.

I turned 24 today. I went golfing at RiverEdge yesterday in celebration, and played an absolutely terrible round. Went to The Keg for supper last night, had a New York striploin steak.

Today I'm headed into PF early for a few hours of overtime. Birthday or no, the work doesn't stop.
