[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 48233"] ok2b, You see, you really surprised me with the 'scum' comment. I had always pegged you to be pretty level headed. I grew up in your neck of the woods; my folks lived in Detroit during the riots. I was young, but remember the fires and tracer bullets in the sky. Youre in the Tri-Cities area, right? Hard times there. I've left the area, but keep up. Desperate people do desperate things. The people I feel for are the mothers and fathers who did what the government told them to do, and are still dying on the street from lack of care. Yes, there is looting and thugs running around. NO after dark must be more frightening than Fallujah. Read slower OK2b, I said they went to safe houses, only to find that there was no food, water, shelter or transportation there. There arent even FEMA or NO officials there. This is a travesty. Sorry, I may be feeling more emotional these days, but when I see good people on the TV asking why their government is letting them die on the streets, I get a bit weepy, and frankly, pissed. Yes, Ive given, through Lowes, so my donation could be maximized. I gave to both RC& SA. I would have given through UPS if they matched my donation. Like I said in the initial post, I have a bad feeling about this. [/QUOTE]
