I don't think homestead residents were laughing after Andrew demolished their homes
Well, I wasn't down here then, but I am now, and just about everyone has a sense of humor about it, and did after, from what I hear. As has been said over and over, for many people, if they don't laugh, they'll cry, so they might as well laugh. Life gives you lemons, you make lemonaid.
Some people aren't that way, and that's fine. But I don't think there's any reason to condem those who are. *shrugs* We all deal in our own ways.
