[StBernard] Heartless DC politicans

[Westley Annis]

"You sound an awful lot like the people in Washington who said those people
in New Orleans knew they were in a flood plain- they deserve to be flooded
and shouldn't get extra money to clean up."
 
 
********* It's hard to believe anyone would be heartless enough to say that
we deserved to be flooded because of where we live.  I'd love for the same
thing to happened to them and see how their song would change.  It has been
said before, most parts of the country are in natural disaster areas.
Let's see how they handle NY or DC being hit by a Katrina - East cost watch
out, you are in the bullseye this year.
 
Weren't all of the families who lost loved ones in 911 compensated by the
government because they failed to protect them?  Guess what, they failed to
protect us also!  SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

Jer,

One might take the same approach to any "volunteer" situation.  What a 
shame
that the mindset is "corrupt until proven not".  I wonder Jer what you 
would
pay a council person to assure a clean agenda; it is not so much denial 
to
"your point" as much as a refusal to accept the presumed point and the
unfortunate reality that people much like yourself operate from a
confirmation bias that seeks to prove the presumption rather than see 
the
reality, whatever it may be.

Yes, I knew this going in- but it doesn't mean that it should be 
accepted.
You sound an awful lot like the people in Washington who said those 
people
in New Orleans knew they were in a flood plain- they deserve to be 
flooded
and shouldn't get extra money to clean up.

Anyway, just another way of seeing the same glass of water.
