[As we have said many times, “natural” disasters are not entirely natural. They are a result of poor development. They are a result of centuries of neglect resulting from imperialism, capitalism, and feudalism. There is no reason that anyone should die from “natural” disasters anymore. The social planning and technology exists to prevent any deaths from the weather. However, as long as profits are valued more than people, people will continue to die. Capitalism means more and more death. Only revolution is the answer. –NP]
