Hopefully this works.
Denver Snow vs Louisiana
THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT.
Denver Post:
This text is from a county emergency manager out in the central part
of
Colorado after todays snowstorm.
WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic
event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions"
---
with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90
M
PH
that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded
hundreds
of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores
of
communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
FYI:
George Bush did not come.
FEMA did nothing.
No one howled for the government.
No one blamed the government.
No one even uttered an expletive on TV .
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.
Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category
5
snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.
No one looted.
Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.
No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No
Geraldo Rivera.
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Str! iesand, No Hollywood types to be
found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water.
Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for
a
penny.
Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments
delivered
it to the snowbound families.
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.
We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman
lanterns.
We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or
Die".
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out
of a
mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades
votes
for 'sittin at home' checks.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen
this
early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about
48
degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems
evaporate."
It does seem that way, at least to me.
I hope this gets passed on.
Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a
living.
I smell a horrible slam on New Orleans, but I cannot seem to point at the exact moment that I stopped giving a crap. Probably 3 days before the storm hit, but possibly before this. This is probably one of the best explanations of why I don't give a crap.
