it seems to me you should accept what is served and be grateful to have food in your belly and a roof over your head.

You're not insensitive, you're commonsensical.

When Katrina rolled through and Texas had such an influx of people from Louisiana, I worked at a local high school that was designated one of the 'shelters'.

I KNOW everyone was scared, and I KNOW everyone was uncomfortable, but I had never heard such whining and kvetching in all my life!

Despite being served a hot breakfast AND a hot supper, the loudest complaint was they only recieved sandwiches for lunch.

That kind of 'gratitude' will make even the most charitable person UN-charitable really quick!

I had the same experience while volunteering after Katrina.

I was amazed...well, maybe appalled is a better word.
