"Natural disasters are revelatory. 

The manner in which a society interprets 

a catastrophe and responds to the chaos 

exposes many of the accepted truths, 

prejudices, hopes, and fears of a culture. 

--Nicholas Shrady, The Last Day

(as quoted in Eruption)

"It's in there flowin'

It's in there growin'

You don't believe me

That this scenery

Could be a

Cold-blooded killer"

--The Presidents of the United
