I can't help to think of what it was like for those folks in that retirement/nursing home. What an awful way to die. There are many things that went wrong with that whole catastrophe, but to play the blame game and biatch and moan and try to get hard working american people to feel sorry for lazy people is a little hard to take.

fpsoxfan,
Thank you for re-reading my original post. I saw that after I posted to your post.
Anyway, I absolutely agree with you about the handouts, it's the same people that got them before bitching about getting them now.
Funny thing is while us and many of our friends were in disasters areas 1. most of us didn't need help because we were prepared, and 2. we don't live off the system so we dont know how to get it, seriously we are really dumb about it.
I have no sympathy for the people screaming for the housing projects. ( then again if they opened them back up we would know where the crime is, now it's just all over the city)
But like I said 1.5 milion people evacuated, hard working people who paid dearly for insurance only to get screwed. One man raised his house 20 ft. out of pocket and because FEMA had not made the flood maps yet, he will not be reimbursed. So many have moved over here to my little 6 red light town we now have traffic jams, I am in the country. It all happened so fast you can't keep up with roads, and infrastructure.
it's all crazy here, every day. The talking heads keep talking, the hard working folks just keep working and we send money to Baghdad everyday.
AND do not get me wrong, I certainly support our troops, not the war in the wrong country.
Katrina/Rita and now all this flooding in the midwest is a wake up call that we really need to take care of our own, especially the hard working people that just keep plugging along.
The nursing home is an absolute disgrace..I hope those people rot in hell for leaving those old people there.
And the animals, I responded as a vet tech. another disgrace.
It is hard to judge when you don't live here and even harder when you do. I will never understand how this all happened in my beloved country.
