STUPID, POINTLESS, WASTEFUL VOLCANO MONITORING..

I was in the Coast Guard , stationed in Garibaldi , Oregon when Miss Helen performed her amazing disappearing mountain act...we had warning also, but not really...it was so much more astounding than anyone thought it would be...ash fall, people dying, mud flows, people dying, and terror .
And we were on the opposite side of the mountain from the main event...
If not for the warnings that were available and put out I dare say there would be to this day a memorial mourning the "hundreds or thousands" that died that day instead of the tragedy that there was.
Jindal and the Republicans are welcome to decry the need to watch these massive frightening things...hell, go live on them, please.
Then they , like Harry Truman can be buried under the half mile of ash and earth gutrock that results when one of these monsters decides enough is enough..
That sounds harsh and ugly I know...but I tire of hubris easily these days...like ,"They will welcome us as Liberators", or, "There are weapons of mass destruction just lying around everywhere", or, "The fundamentals of the American economy are sound",,,,,,.or. "There is no need to Waste much needed capital on something as silly as Volcano Monitoring"....
Yeah silly waste...cause everyone already knows how many active volcano's there are in the Pacific North-west...right ??? So we'll simply steer clear of that area...
Sorry Seattle, you are on your own with your silly volcano... It isn't worth the CASH to monitor it. But Hey ! You got windows , look out of them every now and then...
Of course ,...some of you will have to die pointlessly, but that is the will of GOD and the Republican Party...
