It is interesting how Americans are programmed to think about death.

Death by disease. We can do something to stop it. We are great.

Death by bombs. We were justified. We are great.

Death by drone. We were not justified because it could literally be me in my home. We are not great.

Death by storm. Act of god. We are innocent.

Death by the Climate Crisis. It doesn't exist. We are great at any cost.

What occurred with Moore, Oklahoma in reaction to the deaths in their TOWN, is more a mental health issue than if they literally fell apart and had to be put back together. 

The USA has a long way to go to actually confront what the country is great about and at and what it is not.
