Regarding my Post Maximize Your Google Searches, TechnoLawyer member Vusumzi Msi writes: "The post on Google was absolutely bloody marvellous! I'm already using both the maps and news service." Regarding my Post on Hurricane Katrina, TechnoLawyer member Carroll Straus writes: "Your general statement [about the long-standing ability to hold back massive amounts of water] is true ... but how much do you really know about the reasons humans make the decisions about risk that they do? We let thousands of children die of lack of prenatal care or hunger every day ... that too, is preventable. But preventing it is not "sexy" and gets no rants, no press, no attention, no money. It's not good politics. Better to ask why we don't understand OURSELVES well enough to make wise choices. And BTW — does the term hubris seem at all applicable here, to you? Cuz it does to me." On a more mundane note, TechnoLawyer member Jason Howie writes: "There is only one way I can avoid a major catastrophe like Katrina. I have my system and my 2 legal assistants' systems backed up by an Internet based recovery system weekly. It is inexpensive, off-site (a few hundred miles away), and done automatically in the middle of the night. When I look at the victims of Katrina, I think, But for the grace of God go I."
