This morning - the Wall Street Journal had an article that warmed my cynical little heart. And perhaps indicated the promise of the existence of a vengeful goddess - who lives in Utah of all places.

MILFORD, Utah -- On a hot Wednesday morning earlier this month, Richard Losee floored his bright red Ferrari Enzo on a desolate stretch of Utah's Route 257 north of here. His plan was to zoom to more than double the posted speed limit of 75 miles per hour. Cresting a rise in the road, Mr. Losee lost control, and his $1.3 million supercar skidded and tumbled several times. The car's carbon-fiber body splintered in a hail of debris and its 650-horsepower, V-12 engine went flying. Mr. Losee suffered a serious concussion, a broken sternum and broken vertebrae in his neck.

Turns out this is some sort of CHARITY event - excuse me - but wouldn't giving 1.3 million to a charity be more charitable? But, what do I know. I am just an old woman.
