Good rant and I agree 100%. That storm hadn't even hit and people were ranting about Bush and FEMA. Absolutely ridiculous. If my house were demolished by an act of nature and my job was gone because of same; why does the government owe me something? And why don't people realize that WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT! I say, let the libs pay higher taxes. They are the ones who are doing the screaming. Let THEM opt to pay more. Wonder how many would volunteer?
re:Baby drowning. That, and cooking babies in cars are a real hazard in TX. (Not to mention the "God told me to kill them" moms) Sorry, I lived there for 12 years and it was becoming commonplace. Prays for that baby.
That was a good rant, Txsleuth!

Bonfire, this reminds of all the libs howling about Bush's first taxcuts and how they would send their checks back. I wonder how many did? None would be my guess. Wish there was some way to find out.
Boy are you right....Texas has had WAY too many babies die in cars, swimming pools, and by their own mother's hands..
I don't know if it is because I LIVE in Texas that I am so aware of the frequency of these deaths...but it is so bizarre!!!
I have two granddaughters 9 months and 6 years old...and I am ALWAYS aware of where they are and what they are doing when they are around...and I totally trust my kids to watch them.
I know accidents happen...but there are accidents and then there is neglect and not paying attention!
Hey bonfire. Are you an Aggie!!!!
