And why am I always using his lists?
Trying to find people to collaborate with on music on craigslist. I've found a few possibilities, but more and more I'm becoming convinced that I have about as much luck finding something of quality on craigslist as I do at a 99 cent store.

Cabin Fever and an Endless Stream of NY1
The inane selfishness of man.
Best seen in those who decided to stay behind after being urged, for about a day and a half, to evacuate their homes, and decided to stay, despite warnings that help would not be able to reach.
They stayed.
Then they begged for help.
At great cost to government, risking the lives of innocent emergency workers.
Correction. The inane stupidity of man.
The news is now full of complaints about what's not being done, what's going wrong with a wide range of emergency services. Complaints about still-crippled transportation services. Christ, people. I'm over listening to whiners and sensationalist news teams harping on the negative. The effort made to bring life back to the city has been amazing. If you think of the scope, the gallons of water to be pumped out of subway systems, the difficulty of getting resources to the millions of people without with no ease of transportation, the innumerable variables that were tweaked and shifted out of control by this hurricane? I'm damn impressed that for most New Yorkers, things are at least functioning on a basic level. All of the minor, or major inconveniences that remain are, at least to the thinking person, to be expected.
Bummer, for sure, but this is what we get for the years of mindless environmental irresponsibility that likely resulted in the freak storm Sandy. I'm pretty convinced that we played a major role. So we suffer the consequences. Quit yer crying and stand in line for the bus for 3 hours. Everyone else is. Or walk. You've got feet.
