As you know, the national holiday on July 16, called Marine Day, has come and gone. Or, to be more correct, it came in on the typhoon and left on the typhoon.
Marine Day is a day to celebrate the sea, but this year, the sea picked itself up and threw itself at us as Typhoon Manyi.
Typhoons are in the news early this year. But this is not a sign of global warming. It's a sign of global terrorism — the globe is after us! And the weather has its role in it with typhoon training camps in Southeast Asia, where the typhoon cells are formed. Call it El Nino, call it al-Qaida, but there is no doubt that terrorist typhoons are out to get us.
