Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

I had a 5th grade teacher who had a Civil War cannon on his front lawn. Every 4th of July he'd fire a round out of it. One day it blew up in his face. Fortunately he wasn't killed.
