Maybe it’s because I’m a creature of Washington, but it occurs to me that if 60 people were killed as a result of:<\/p>\n
— Terrorism
\n— A Coal Mine Collapse
\n— An Ebola outbreak
\n— Food poisoning
\n— Faulty brakes
\n— A chemical plant explosion
\n— A high rise fire
\n— Altered drugs
\n— Sharks<\/p>\n
Everyone — including Congress and the White House — would be talking about immediate public policy responses. Investigations would be launched; hearings scheduled.<\/p>\n
So what can we expect over the next few weeks from Congress or the White House?<\/p>\n
Prayers and warmest condolences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
