Compassion usually involves empathy and assistance for those experiencing adversity through circumstances not of their making. On the other hand was the fat lady on TV, arrested for shoplifting, who said: "If de government would be given me mo' money, I wouldn't have to be stealin'." With just a bit of parphasing one could find much the same quote from a few Wall Street Bankers. |

I remember the event because I was in the hospital with pneumonia when the storms and tornadoes hit. O_o TDD |

keep his own money, instead of give it all to the government. The racist result, is that the Fed has less of my money to give to people who don't work. So, they do another QE, and print a bunch more.

Is that like bitching about customers finding other locksmiths when you say you will be out sometime, they should just wait for you? Is that like not helping your sick, elderly parents because you are broke but you can pay people to mow your lawn and change your tire? Is that like browbeating an optician into diagnosing the glasses you mail ordered from China to avoid paying him to make you glasses? The racist result, is that the Fed has less of my money to give to people who don't work. So, they do another QE, and print a bunch more. So it has nothing to do with placating neighbors with basketballs and fried chicken or Mexican trees falling on black people then? Seems the only welfare people you have problems with are those "other" folks. Bitch all you want about how the government spends the money, but you seem to think is fine when you and your family get free stuff but not when it's spent on "those people". |

It's typical of your ilk to deflect and refuse to answer simple questions. Admission of the correct meaning of your favorite Politically Incorrect labels for those you oppose in the arena of political ideology, will prove that you use the words in a manner that is incorrect. You can never admit that you are wrong and quite ignorant in the meaning of the language you should be proficient in. It might lead others to think you're a complete idiot and we can't have that, now can we? ^_^ TDD |

Dumpster diving is pretty common in NY, it doesn't take a storm. Speaking of, I had walked out of a gas station. Heard this cry for help coming from behind a fenced in area, where the dumpster is kept. Skeptical, I walked over cautiously thinking it may be a set up to get me mugged! Anyways, a woman said please help me. She was in the dumpster, there were some crates in front of the dumpster. She was a VERY large woman, probably 350lbs +, stuck in the dumpster. Apparently she was trying to retrieve cardboard boxes, reached in too far, and fell in, and noway to get out. I let the fire dept handle it, didn't want to get dragged in there, she might have eaten me! The Federal Government is on the case. Emergency regulations promulgated by FEMA now require dumpster owners to post a sign on their dumpsters listing the dumpster's contents with regard to edible items, clothing, and other emergency needs. This should eliminate the kind of problem you encountered. Further, OSHA has taken it upon itself to issue similar regulations regarding the ADA - Americans with Disabilities Act. When a dumpster contains victuals or other needed items, it will be incumbent on the dumpster owner to provide a wheel-chair accessible ramp. |

Friends who are in the insurance adjusting business mentioned that much of their looting claims came from merchants that were flooded out. Odd coincidence that. |

It surprised me that unspoiled, uncontaminated food was being thrown away. O_o Following Katrina some food stores (Wal Mart) told folk to take what they needed/could use. Down side on the can goods ... no labels. A few in the media and a lot of the far right claimed it was 'looting'. I wonder how that 50" TV tasted. Friends who are in the insurance adjusting business mentioned that much of their looting claims came from merchants that were flooded out. Odd coincidence that. As I said many of the claims for looting were from merchants that were also flooded. Funny but some only had looting on the first floors but none on the second ... that was unless the water was really high. |
