Urbane History Lessons

I have a hardbound copy of "The City of Hartford 1784-1984" although most of this coffee table story of unfortunate events takes place between 1850 and 1950s, before and after the UnCivil War, and, like the U.S. Catholic Church and many MainLine Protestant WiseElder headcounts, reaching peak population during the 1950s, followed by a slow declining landscape of pathological degenerativity. Numbers stand out. The still published Hartford Courant began as a weekly Connecticut Courant in 1764. In 1938 a hurricane brought us 7.4 million dollars in damages and 4,000 homeless human lives, not necessarily in that reported order of moral priority. This was the first hurricane in 123 years. But, our history book back in 1815 records, nor rewards, no damages or homeless or lost lives from hurricanes or otherwise. No lives that mattered on this timeline. Between 1850 and 1900 "Fires and Catastrophes" result in loss of 53 lives, about ten per decade, one per year, and $1,190,000 in lost property values; about $220,000 per decade. These same numbers during the subsequent fifty years, from 1900 through 1950, are 216 dead, a 400% increase in the wrong direction, primarily due to a Ringling Brothers Circus Fire, which does not report any loss of elephants or lions and tigers and bears, much less wicked monkeys. Damages grow from the previous century's total just over one million, to over $11 million between 1900-1950; about $2,200,000 per decade-- a ten-fold mean depression in prosperity. In 1956 the burning of St. Joseph Cathedral and St. Patrick's Church quickly add another $5,250,000, bringing us to about $16.5 million burned and otherwise catastrophied away. With growing human population values and investment in our healthy infrastructure technology and buildings, transportation and entertainments, comes greater risks and costs for sustaining healthy educated lives, quickly escalating challenges for resilient goals of healthy-wealthy loves, theological grace and ecological karma. Lives authentically and universally pro-sacred life, not merely secularized anthropogentric and extractively commodified and deductively reduced to a less demanding moral standard of merely tolerating LoseLose abortions, fires, catastrophies, totalitarian sociopathologies, retributive punishments of divinely inhumane climate pathology.
