Well, I take it by your freepname that you are a proud mother. Most likely a compassionate and loving one as well. But that obviously doesn't prevent you from seeing the reality of the situation. I don't think you are alone. In fact, I think you represent the majority viewpoint despite what the media is trying to convince everyone to think. My wife is currently visiting her sister. Both are loving, compassionate mothers of a total of 6 great kids. My sister in law is pretty liberal. But both she and my wife share your (and my viewpoint). They have lost sympathy for what they view as a large amount of people who failed to take action to help themselves when they were directed to. Like you and me, they feel very sorry for the elderly and the children. But if it weren't for so many of the idiots who did have a means of leaving and decided not to, those poor children and elderly would probably be receiving much better help.

Thank you for your kind words. I am a proud and loving mom of three daughters and one grandson, but my screen name is for my dog. LOL I consider myself a realist, not being blinded by what other people tell me to think...that sounds like you and your family also, and that is a good way to be.

I do like your point about so many deciding not to leave when they could have, leaving better care and help for the elderly and the children. Just to add onto that a bit, if these people were to go as mandated, they probably would have taken quite a number of the elderly and children with them. Thus, leaving a MUCH smaller number of people needing help, and being able to have room for them, and the ability to give them the best care and attention. It just makes me sad, but at the same time, mad as hell at these pig-headed people that refused to listen...now they are the ones running their mouths demanding everything, and criticizing our President because they turned a bad situation into a situation from hell.
