Did you ever drive over 55mph? Much to the dismay of my husband, no I do not drive over the speed limit and encourage him not to (but he doesn't always listen to me)
Did you ever try on shoes without socks? No, who knows where those shoes have been?
Did you ever taste a grape at a supermarket w/o paying for it? No
Ever party with the boys after a shift and drive home? Don't drink alcohol, sorry I am usually the designated driver.
Did you ever buy 13 ears of corn and pay for 12. Isn't that shoplifting? No, I have never done that.
See, it's easy to answer questions. My fascination with the law is that it is what this country is based on, don't want the government, businesses, or private individuals breaking it.

As far as breaking the law to "feed people after 5 days without it", that has already been shown that that is not what happened, so why bring it up?

Well I guess that I deserve all the stones that you have thrown because you obviously are without sin. My ex-mother in law was like that too. I would love to introduce you two someday.

"As far as breaking the law to "feed people after 5 days without it", that has already been shown that that is not what happened, so why bring it up?"

Really, can you please show me and also cx: the folks that will be arguing the following




Why Were Federal Relief Supplies So Late to Arrive?

Timeliness is critical to disaster response. Food, water, and medical supplies are immediate needs for the survivors, particularly children, the elderly, and people with medical problems. In addition, living conditions in temporary shelters can deteriorate rapidly after a disaster, increasing both stress and the risk of infectious disease. On September 23, 2003, FEMA Director Michael Brown testified before Congress that the agency was "taking steps to reduce disaster response times so that eventually disaster teams will be able to respond anywhere in the country within 12 hours and disaster logistics packages, commodities, and equipment can be delivered anywhere in the country within 24 hours of a disaster declaration."

Yet relief supplies came painfully slowly to New Orleans. At least four days without food or clean water took a rapidly mounting toll on people's health and created an increasing sense of desperation. Thousands of people trapped in the New Orleans Convention Center lacked basic necessities.

Despite an array of promises, little was delivered quickly. John Copenhaver, a former southeastern regional director of FEMA, stated on Wednesday, "I would have difficulty explaining why there has not been a visible presence of ice, water, tarps — the kind of stuff that typically get delivered to hurricane areas." When told that FEMA had blamed road conditions for delays, Joe Myers, former emergency management chief of Florida, responded, "I would think that yesterday they could have flown that in … Everyone was flying in .… Put it this way, FOX and CNN are there. If they can get there, why can't FEMA.

How can you possibly enter the holy vows of matrimony with someone who recklessly breaks the law. Do you know how many people are killed everyday by husbands that don't listen to their wives and knowingly break the speed laws? :->

What part of "without food and water" don't you understand?
