And... the results of the hurricane is a relative blip to the economy, means nothing to our national defense or resolve... the country did not roll to a stop.. how many countries could say that??

It is why I have little patience with people who whine about their lot in life. Like the people who lose their job and refuse to move to where there are jobs. Bad things happen to the best of people, so it's no point sitting around bemoaning your situation. If your situation is not good, try to improve it. If that sounds like a simplistic solution to a serious problem, then I'm sorry but what else should people do? Oh that's right, the Dems want you to sit around whining waiting for the government to step in and "solve" your problems for you. Incidentally disasters like Hurricane Charley are the few times where government assistance is legitimate... it's a true disaster. But it sounds like even most Floridians struck by the storm are recovering quite nicely without major gov help and with minimal moaning over their predicament. Good luck to them and congratulations to them for getting on with their lives.

"...the cashier can take on potential muggers only in single file."

LOL! Maybe the checkout counter should be in a corner of the store so the clerk's back is to the wall and he never has to battle more than 3 at a time.

Maggie Thatcher said we were puissant...
(not pissant, you moron!)
The entire world is puissant, and if Americans have their way, they'll show the people of the world how puissant they can be. This is the American Dream.
