At the risk of repeating another post from last night:
Everyone on thos forum coninuously complains about the MSM coverage and how biased it is. This still holds true but you are buying into it like Demos.
You are being sold a bill of goods.
My wife and I worked at Brown Convention Center last Thursday and the people there don't resemble the slackards that you all so colorfully describe.
My wife had a woman come up to her and ask for some Tampax. My wife handed her a box and the woman opened and removed four and said thank you. My wife stopped her and handed her the box. The woman said "I'll just take these, someone else may need the others." My wife replied "Don't worry, we'll get more"
A man came in looking for cloth bathtowels. He picked up four and my wife asked how many family members he had. He replied "nine". She gave him another 6 towels and he was speechless.
One man picked up a toothbrush and my wife asked how many were in his group. He said four. So she gave him four toothbrushes with toothpaste for each. He couldn't believe that we would do this.
The evacuees are being extremely thrifty with the relief supplies. The people you are seeing on TV are brigands, hand picked by the media in order to inflate ratings.
Y'all are buying into a lie.
Bigtime.
Thanks so much for your uplifting post -- I am afraid that I, for one, have bought into some of this depressing media hype about the ungrateful rescued. Your experience is heartening. Do these folks want to go back to their homes? Are they interested in relocating for good and working in TX? Just curious

Just like with the looters. Some reporter was talking to an older guy down in Mississippi. 59 yrs old, herniated disc and bad knee. Had $600 in the bank. Was cleaning out all the wet and muddy junk in his home. The reporter asked him if he was angry. The guy said "Angry? Now's not the time to be angry. Now's the time to get to work and get on with it. The Lord will provide."
THANK YOU! I needed this post.
After reading that Iraqis were scraping together funds for the hurricane victims and the story of the European life savings giver...I just needed to hear this.
I can't tell you how glad I am to hear it!
