144,400 people dead, thousands more listed as missing. Tomorrow I'm going to go to work and listen to hundreds of people bitching about a missing parcel or a failed redirection or some incorrect mail deliveries. All the while I'll be thinking of 144,400 dead people and the countless people missing them and mourning them. I'll be wondering and chaffing at the small-mindedness of my customers. The arrogance of complaining despite their full and tragedy-free lives. If a tsunami is the hand of God at work, I think he missed the more worthy target.
