We appreciate what we have to earn more than what is handed to us.

I think Bush was saying that last night...local people should be involved, homesteading, etc.

I have to confess that I had mixed feelings about Bush's "Marshall" plan.

Question to self:
What was that feeling?

Was it anger?
Was it envy?

I can't quite identify the not-so-nice feeling I was harboring.

I know I felt sympathy for the folks in Florida who have not gotten this kind of help.

I guess some Americans after WWII felt this way about helping W. Germany.

Why should we help people who have consistently made wrong, even dangerous, decisions?

Maybe instead of just 100% admiring or condeming Bush's idea, we should consider which parts of the plan need promotion and which need to be chucked. We should make our well-considered opinions known.
