i'm an evangelical atheist and everything, but a part of me kind of wants this to be retribution.

if some sadistic god does exist, however unlikely, i'd like to think it has an altruistic streak that would take a community like this (where virtually everybody is employed by the tar sands industry) out.

if anybody turns to salt, let me know.
