I haven't said anything before because we beam with pride when we see the “Texas spirit but it's not just limited to Texas. There are people like this all over the country , including LA. They are the ones that will quietly re-build. We don't hear much about them in Alabama and Mississippi and won't from Texas soon. The problem I see is that LA had a huge pocket of Katrina “victims” Ours will make some noise, get a little media attention but we won't sit back and watch millions of our tax dollars go to worthless causes without making some noise of our own. Texans would probably have turned NO into a park by now.

If I were a Texan I’d be beaming with pride too. Reading through some of the local blogs and watching ordinary citizens organzing and figuring ways to get around obstacles and share food, water and cell phones. It’s very disorienting to go from modern life one day- to primitive the next.

It was the same here in Florida when we had the summer of hurricanes. We worked together and figured ways to deal with it- 10 days with no power- no water- no phones. None of us died and no one went hungry. We did talk a lot- still do- about how much we take for granted..

Independent Americans are extraordinary citizens. Dependent ones..are handicapped for life but apparently are so brain-washed they can’t see who has made them this way.
