Those pictures are stunning! One outstanding post, why Government is NOT the answer *BUMP*

The kid that drove that bus should be given a medal. The fact that he drove 13 hours straight shows that all the rest on the bus were not able to lift a finger to save themselves, they did not even spell the kid while he drove.

"Welfare culture is bad not just because, as in Europe, it's bankrupting the state, but because it enfeebles the citizenry, it erodes self-reliance and resourcefulness."

A truer statement has never been said. And add to that a culture that is absolutely addicted to "instant" solutions to every problem, and you have a disaster on top of a disaster. The reporters and talking heads of the media exemplify the instant solution mentality. Of course with them it only applies to Republicans. Democrats they allow more time.
