Whining and Giving

Howzabout we institute a national color-coded biometric "Bitchin' Level" card? You donate $100 to hurricane relief, you get a green card that entitles you to talk/write for 10 minutes a day blaming someone or something for everything that went wrong. After that, you shut up till tomorrow and go make yourself useful. $200 gets you a yellow card and an extra half hour. So on up the scale.

Based on what I see and hear, the desire to play "pin the blame on the other guys" is the strongest single motive force in America today. Ought to be a way to turn that hot air into simoleons for the sufferers.
