This is a rant! I watched with complete disbelief last night and this morning the news that over one hundred thousand people disobeyed mandatory evacuation orders from Hurricaine Ike and chose to hunker down in their homes instead of filling up their gas tanks with $5 a gallon petrol and empty their wallets out with expensive hotel and motel costs safely inland. And then these coastal scofflaws actually expect the rest of us to then rescue them from "certain death" by drowning? They made their poor decision! Let them go under three times and then die with it! By what right, say, do workers at McDonald's and dish-washers and Social Security retirees not put a little aside each month as a fund to help them evacuate when killer hurricaines come knocking (as they do sometimes every year)? Yet these Texas moochers actually expect me (& other good people like me in, say, Colorado) to pay out of our own pockets for their rescue when they chose--mind-you: CHOSE!--to stay behind? Just like the good Christian Lieutenant Governor of Texas said a few minutes ago on the Weather Channel: we live in a Free Country, which means workers at McDonald's, dish-washers and Social Security retirees, et al, are completely free to die if they can't afford to live!
And this is as it should be in this Great Land of Ours, doncha think?
