People just don't want to accept trade offs anymore. Lately I've seen a rash of articles pointing an angry finger at God over the Asian tsunami disaster, as in "Where have you been?"

I've always thought of this scenario:
Say you have two children. One lives in Ethiopia; the other in Belfast. Odds are fifty-fifty as to whether the Ethiopian kid will die of starvation or of measles.

Hmmmm. In retrospect, I shouldn't have phrased that the way I did . . .
