 I do not recall asking for a change in policy in
Houston, or demanding the enforcement or a say in the
city zoning code--I do not live there and understand
that concept.

I use it.

They were left to take an old bus that exploded.

Out of 47 elderly people you do not think most of them
had at least one relative alive? And not being within
a four days drive or flight to come get your
vulnerable parent, grandparent, aunt, great aunt, etc.
in case of an emergency is abandonment.

They had 5 days notice, You can drive that easily from
anywhere in the country. They had up until 6 hours
before the storm hit to drive in and get their family
member.

What most homes do is call the relatives of the legal
guardians. The relatives should take them. For those
that cannot take them, the government should provide
properly working safe transportation. Millions of kids
across this country ride in a bus, do you see them
spontaneously catching on fire and exploding? No,
because they are maintained well.

They already know what started the fire. I know that
the equipment was old and not maintained properly.
Second, I am not passing judgment on the officials. I
am passing judgment on the United States Citizens that
allow this to happen. Not the ones doing the best they
can to help them.

Well, considering I work with many elderly patients
and provide them care, it would most likely be only
you in this conversation that is providing strictly
lip service.

There is no justification for abandoning our elderly.
I fail to understand your defense of it Jackie.

Take Care,
