Well said in my opinion Tall Shadow....Now watching shows of the last year disaster gets one to thinkin..First of all before my family had to be plucked from a rooftop because I don't have a car, we would have used one of those grocery buggies that are left all over the place, put our pets,kids,clothes,food in them and started walking to high ground. There has to be tons of jobs available in those areas..but can you get some off their porch to pitch in?..Now gripe also because someone crossed the border looking to do this work...yes issues in illegals not paying taxes etc...another post...but get off your duff and help out instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you....ok..so now you can't help your neighbor build his house when the red tape holds back the funds to buy the shingles, wood etc...after all that isn't cheap to buy...years ago, my family all chipped in with building a house for my grandfather...then when his was done..they all helped in building each others homes..soon...everyone had a home....not one of them sat on their porch and did nothing...another example is some neighbors of mine..I have worked on their house for their mother..free...worked on their cars...free and at times at my expense....but one day they asked me to put a new roof on their porch...when I asked if the boys would help....no ..I said no...so if you don't want to help yourself...how can you expect others to help you?....Now they say to move New Orleans up river..??...Don't someone already live there?...Where are they to go?....The answer to what to do with all the rubbish?...Make a wall along the shoreline with it and cover it over with dirt.This will help support the dam. We have landfills here that look like nice fields now..but I know what is under it....Japan has turned trash dumps into ski resorts..what a good idea to make out of the mountains of trash...ski down them...as for the news media..they don't care what they report..right or wrong information.long as they can say they are the first and the ratings go up...I hate to even watch it.....Kind of like headlines...truck crashes into school..well the first thing I would think of is some tractor trailer smashing into a school...but find out it was only a jeep pickup with a drunkin driver of a stolen vehicle....it is all wrong...in past posts on different subjects....the power of the voice of the people can get things done....in numbers...but who will get off their porch long enough to make the calls?...let someone else do it for you..
