[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1985536, member: 3099"] Shhh.... They're on a roll, those dims. No amount of logic, truth and facts are going to convince them otherwise. Our government is broken beyond repair and needs a hard boot or master reset. I'm getting more and more convinced that the only thing that will get through to the 51% or whatever that voted for 4 more years of the exact same is stark reality hitting them upside the head. They won't listen and they are just going to have to learn it the hard way like a hard headed teenager. The sooner the better. I saw in a sig line from someone who is quite wise that said that "bleeding is merely the first step in healing". I don't mean to belittle those in NJ and NY their suffering, but some that I have seen on the tube are a perfect example. I've seen several in the last few days that have stated that they are "on our own" and they are quite resentful that the government isn't helping them. A little part of me wants to say "Really? You had days, not hours, but days of warning. You were told what was going to happen and told to GTFO. Yet you stayed? You had made no preparations whatsoever [SIZE=1](I've seen several interviewed that didn't even have 2 days worth of bottled water much less some emergency food rations)[/SIZE]. And yet you stayed? It's been less than two weeks and you're pissed that you've had to take care of yourself? For two weeks? Really?" Being in OK and none of us are strangers to disaster with tornadoes, fires and floods. We all hate to see their true suffering, but a small part of me has little sympathy. The ones I'm talking about are of the opinion that the government is supposed to come in and take care of them, that they have no responsibility for themselves, I guess being taxpayers they expect these things. Like I said the system is broken... Obamaphone? What the heck happened to using a pay phone anyway? [/QUOTE]
