Hm. Nice to See People with Perspective
Anne Rice, in an interview with CNN.
"It is a cataclysm. It's something like the destruction of the city of Pompeii," she said in an interview to air Friday night on "Paula Zahn Now."Hm.
Pompeii - the burial of an entire city under tons of volcanic ash, resulting in its complete destruction. Burial is so total, the city is lost for centuries.
New Orleans - city flooded by a hurricane, starts the rebuilding process weeks later.
Yeah, I see the similarities.

Well, when Gitmo is a gulag, our interrogators are Nazis, what really do you expect? The analogy inflation game continues.

I think that this is a symptom less of analogy inflation than of education deflation. Too few people would be aware of better analogies. San Francisco after the earthquake would be a better analogy for NO than Pompeii.
