Do you mind telling me HOW you know that?
One has only to read their posts to understand that they are not predisposed to come to the aid of their fellow man.
My remark really was not directed at you specifically ... as I have no way of knowing what, if anything, you have done ... or would do to help anyone out. Surely, you will admit that many on these Katrina threads have not exhibited one drop of the milk of human kindness toward the folks affected by Hurricane Katrina.
I suspect that part of the problem is that the Hurricanes of 2005 have ripped the scab off of a festering sore ... the reality of what a failed welfare society has wrought over the past half century. Many people who have never lived in a major city have no idea of the problems that exist. And, if they did have an inkling before, they have no doubt now ... and that has resulted in the NIMBY attitude which is a result of fear and loathing.
The problems are not going to evaporate ... they must be dealt with. As a lifelong Republican, I have been a vocal opponent of all that has gone on in the welfare society from its inception ... but, there were not many like me. Now the ol' chickens have come home to roost ... and I am realistic enough to realize that something must be done .
