Serving Others: A New Lens for Political Engagement | Capital Commentary by Dynan Crull.  MGB: In earlier days the  Church and Crown worked more closely to handle the needs of the poor, although the resources were not vast to do so.  It is not untoward to set up such systems now and include within them employers as well.  As for the super storm - some of this type of damage had been predicted before.  Indeed, on the History Channel just as Irene was coming up the coast, they aired a show about New York City experiencing a Category 3 Hurricane.  If this becomes the norm every few years, it may just be time for the state to use its power to declare some areas uninhabitable and pay the residents to live someplace else so that future instant charity can be avoided.  One wonders how many biblical disasters were really bad engineering.
