Bitter America
I’m looking at these pictures of the floods in the midwest, it’s heartbreaking to see hardworking people so inconvenienced. But they’re not sitting on the roofs of their flood-ravaged homes yelling at TV cameras for George Bush to save them. It must be that they’re so bitter and clinging to their guns and religion…and too busy rebuilding their lives to blame someone else.

The difference as I see it is: In Des Moines, the citizens wake up in the morning to an alarm clock so that they can go to work. The majority of the slackers who were on the rooftops yelling to the cameras wouldn’t work, so they didn’t have a car and the gas nor the gumption to get out when they were told it would be really bad, (72+hours before the storm got there).
Surely, several of the people caught up in Katrina were hard working, non-criminal sorts, and I really feel for them. But, I also feel for those who left only to have their slacker neighbor steal their flat screen TV, and whatever else they could trade for drugs. Not cold, just reality.
Des Moiners will pick up and go on and we won’t hear about 100,000 trailers sitting in fields, unused, or all that other mess. They’ll take care of themselves and their neighbors.

New Orleans should take notice and learn.
Nah…that will never happen.
