OMG!!!!!!! Howdy all and Happy Thanksgiving coming up. I know this is an
old post (from Oct) and I'll see if I can follow it to current, but just
opening messages randomly and saw this sentiment.
Hooray, Jim, for saying that. Exactly. Man, down here in the Dallas area,
people are seething (OK, maybe not seething, but they're pretty darned
po'ed) about this whole situation. We have people out of work, homeless,
distraught, etc., every day all day here. And, when the disaster happens,
suddenly compassion must go out.
Not saying the poor folks wrapped up in this tragedy don't deserve
compassion. They do. But, what in the world is the deal with this? As I
said, people are struggling every day--and it didn't take a disaster to ge
them there: they live this every day for whatever reason. News around here
shows the evacuees (they didn't want to be called refugees) are thankless,
asking for more, and say they DESERVE whatever "we" can get and give for
them!!??
PAH!!! I'll tend to myself and they can, too. We've got motel/hotel rooms,
apts, homes, etc., with the folks living in them who've been sitting on
their royal you-know-whats and, now that FEMA said assistance would end Dec
1--they (the evacuees) have decided that they need to go find work, find new
homes, etc. EXCUSE ME??!! Shoulda been out there longer ago than now.
I don't know. It's one huge messed up siteeashun down heeya. And, those of
us who were forced (by way of tax dollars) to support the lunacy that's been
behind the assistance, are fed up. NO, we DON'T need to support any
rebuilding in a hurricane zone. Period. (Although a lot of trade and
commerce goes through the port...what about that?)
