(Ramblings) Dogs and Cats Living Together

Out of curiousity, I took a look at the latest Rapture Index update earlier today.  It would appear that the +2 rise versus last week's score was made prior to the levee break in New Orleans.  Given that Floods is already at a score of 4/5, and Wild Weather and Oil Supply/Price are both at 5, I've been wondering just what scores are going to be raised come next week.  ( I personally can't see the guy behind it raising the index by only 1.)

Therefore, I'm taking guesses as to what other categories he raises.  Scoring will be based on the number of correct guesses, minus the number of incorrect guesses.  (How much you think it will raise is beside the point, just that you get the categories right.)  The winner gets something of immaterial value —  kudos, bragging rights, &c.  Just make your guess in the comments, although I have the feeling that I'll be the only one with a guess, since I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who gets so much amusement out of the Index.

Anyways, here's mine:  Floods (obviously), along with Civil Rights (seeing as martial law has been declared), Plagues (based on the disease risk), and possibly Moral Standards (based on the looting, and what not).

Well, looks like it just had a Friday update.  Inflation, the economy, financial unrest, leadership, and (of course) floods went  up one to two points.  This gives my guesses a total score of -2 (1 right, 3 wrong).  Ouch.
