Sam, I care what happens to our neighbors, but right now - Who is helping us?

Have you seen the photos of Florida East coast and west coast, panhandle, Gulf Shores, Alabama, the flooding in the midwest and North Carolina. This is one time that we have to think of our fellow countrymen and women first.

Yes, I've seen them. Sure, they are our first concern.
Although I imagine a few troops in Cayman wouldn't hurt our efforts to help our own much.

I was living in South Dade County when Hurricane Andrew, cat 5, came through, was in our house with wife and children that night, we were in the eye wall as the storm went by, so I am well familiar with what goes on before, during and after a hurricane and the devastation they create, and how long it takes for a community to recover.

To tell you the truth, I have just about had it with this hurricane season, ever since Andrew, the things make me kind of jumpy.

We have the resources to take care of our own,
and for that I am grateful. It would be awful
if we were like little Caribbean islands.

I remember when POOR Bangladesh sent us aid of some sort.
