[Alice in Wonderland]

I’ll have you know I live in a nice double wide on stilts and drive a pickup truck, drink PBR beer, got a 9th grade education ...

Oh, only you're allowed to stereotype people?

I'm from Rockaway, now retired to Florida ... I would have thought a crappy singlewide on blocks, drugs with an arrest record, a third grade education, and a beat-up truck but no driver's license.

Never before in my life have I met people who bragged about not being able to read while collecting their disability checks, don't know what a library is, and have never been inside a barber shop or a dentist's office.

Rockaway got through 9/11 and the plane crash, they'll get through this too.

Yes you will, providing you have the gumption to do so. I lke your response and glad to see someone else on this site, who enjoys a little funning. My heart goes out the victims of this disaster. They will regroup, reorganize and rebuild and hopefully the ones with some cranial intellect will do the fourth R. Vote for Mitt Romeny, who can salvage our economy and restore America to it’s greatness once again. Oh by the way Alice, How are things in wonderland? :) Wishing you and all the folks a speedy recovery from hurricane sandy. Sincerely,
John

You’re pretty generous there.

I wouldn’t be giving some folks that much credit.
