Editor,
The small town of Greensboro, Kan., was ravaged by a tornado that struck with a velocity in excess of 200 mph.
In a world where people swear by the ideal of ensuring the well-being of most people, one would expect that people in positions of authority would use their time and energy to provide as much assistance as possible to the people who lived in Greensboro before the tornado destroyed it.
But three days after Greensboro was destroyed, the governor of Kansas and the official spokesman for the White House were both making statements to the media accusing the other party of not responding in an appropriate manner to this catastrophe. It appears that people in positions of authority think that determining who is at fault takes precedence over attempting to deal with the results of a tragic event and aiding the recovery of the people affected by it.
Once again, the macrocosm is revealed in the microcosm.
