Sometimes shit just happens. And sometimes it's people (and their agents --
corporations, technologies, governments) making the shit happen. For every
tornado, a toxic waste dump.
"These were mass deaths. There were also the attendant maimed,
malfunctioning, homeless, lorn. It happens every month in a
succession of encounters between groups of living and a congruent
world which simply does not care. Look in any yearly Almanac,
under "Disasters" - which is where the figures above come from.
The BUSINESS IS TRANSACTED month after month after month."
(V, Pgs. 290-1, Perennial/Harper& Row)
