    The Irony of the Iceberg.

    I've never even seen the movie "Titanic" but I do understand your comment about the power of the story having to do with the hubris of Western culture. Tie this together with the Global Warming/Climate Change shipwreck. What is more ridiculously audacious, to build an "unsinkable" ship without sufficient life rafts, or to presume to be able to direct the climate of the ship that is mother earth? If we actually set sail under Al Gore's pilotage on a mad voyage of carbon correction there will be a Titanic like movie in our future when that ship wrecks on its own iceberg.
