Disaster Tourism


I admit that since Katrina I have been meaning to get my disaster kit togther, a sort of bourgeois dread mediated by shopping at Costco...

"Because let's be honest. Disaster preparedness is mostly for the middle and upper classes. It is for the informed and the educated, the credit carded and the disposable incomed, the newspaper subscribers and registered voters and people who keep a spare pair of Timberland boots in the trunk of the Range Rover, just in case."
