It seems to bring you a great deal of comfort to keep this going, Pat, and
so all I can say is that while you take comfort in heads rolling, I'll be
praying for hearts softening -- mine, yours, and all of ours.

So, the day the storm was hitting Florida and they were saying that it was
coming up the coast they couldn't have filled a jug?? Even at a category 1
hurricane surely that would have made sense. Long before the roads flooded
and the mayor stopped the buses running something could have been done.
Now, I am hearing a lot on the radio, C-span and emails from friends and
relatives in the south about the problems how they were and weren't handled.
Heroes are everywhere as are scum and the evil just as in any situation.
Many are beginning to ask the same questions I have. In 2002 the
Times-Picayune wrote an article eerily just like what has happened this last
week. THEY KNEW this was GOING to happen!! To have done nothing more for
those people is criminal. I have more compassion than some of you because I
DO NOT want this to happen again. It would be criminal all over again. Can
you not understand that?? I am hearing questions about what happened to the
monies sent to have food and water available in the city many years ago.
This governor should be impeached. The Mayor needs to have his checking
accounts examined. I am really looking forward to the head rolling.

A saying my Gram would use to remind me just how fortunate we were when we
would see people living on the street and I would complain that we had
little more to eat than potatoes and "ketchup" soup (again!):
"There, but for the Grace of God, go I."
We need to be thankful for our fortune and be willing to help those in
desperate need as LA and MI are now. It COULD happen here, it COULD be us
there, it COULD be one day soon that we may need help and we would not want
others to say "Why didn't they just move/work harder/stop being poor/be a
different race, etc.
Since the water in LA/MI has been contaminated for days, just where do you
expect them to fill their "milk jugs" from? Since their homes/lives have
been lost, where do you expect them to go to start over? Since there are
families displaced and separated from one another, where do you expect them
to turn to find their family members or to be found by them? Since the
roads out of town have been flooded/bridges destroyed, just how do you
expect the Governor to have gotten buses in there before they did?
Wailing at God is something that Job did after he lost everything and God
not only listened, He had compassion and mercy on His child and doubled his
losses.
Pat, shame on you for your lack of compassion and simple humanity.
