I totally agree with the author of this article.

You agree with her concept of Lisa Beamer cashing in on her husbands death?!

It's refreshing to see these points of view finally coming out as I feel many others have the same thoughts.

But after all, man didn't do that to man. A quake can't be helped. So it's forgotten in an evening or two by us bighearted, courageous citizens of the best country on Earth.

People die in accidents everyday, but we generally don't get worked up over it. Unless it is family, someone we know, something a little closer to home. While one is saddened by the loss of life in tragic circumstances like those mentioned they often do not hold special meaning to people. It is a sad reality.

This happened to people of our country, the country that helps others all the time, the country that has lost many in battle to save the lives of others. We have always tried hard to do good for others, though not perfectly so, we have been there to help the world over. We go out of our way in this society, especially the left, to give handouts to all kinds of people who do nothing and never will do anything. These were people going to work and trying to make a life snuffed out. If my tax money is going to anyone, I would want it to be those families, not to some drunk jerk who wants another bottle of wine.

They may not be graceful, some may be using the system, but overall people lost somthing they will never ever get back.

Well, I agree with part of the article. It isn't just Americans who go over the top whenever a tragedy occurs, though. Remember the maudlin carrying-on that the British people did after the death of Princess Di?

And as for sending a $1 to help an illiterate Afghan kid, I'd rather send a $1 to blow up an dirt-bag Muslim country. This would do a whole lot more good than all the hand-wringing, candle-lighting, where-were-you-when-it-happened-stories, and general schmaltz that we are currently wallowing in.

I totally agree with the author of this article.

Watch the videos of what the true survivors have put up with in the last year -- having most of their skin BURNT off then tell me you agree with the moron of an author.
