Hurricane Katrina, God and Social Morality

Rabbi Michael Lerner in Tikkun discovers transcendent class discrimination.
And yet, the law of karma or Torah doesn't work on a one to one basis, delivering "just rewards" to those who have been directly involved in causing evil, as Job noted in the Bible and as we can note watching global warming play out. The terrible truth is that it is the poor, the most vulnerable, who are the first to suffer.


Update: Leo Wong writes,

Sin brings sufferings. It is not usually the sinner who suffers.
