I understand all the things that you wrote above............. BUT!................... When people's lives are at stake one must do whatever needs to be done.

That's what made America great... people doing whatever needed to be done. Unfortunately a large part of our society just doesn't get it.

If my Mom was stranded in a similar situation I would Pray that her community would step up. I'll repeat what I posted earlier. It's time for the people with balls to step up.

Be one of those people Gentlemen.............. opportunities will present themselves........... be the guy with the balls to do the right thing.


    Maybe you should make a run for the White House . ? !


Koz would have my vote.

+2

Couldn't do much worse than the president at the time.

Well I'm not sure I would be a big success. As soon as I started talking about doing away with entitlements, working toward term limits, making the politicians take the same health care as the rest of us, exporting illegals, arming our boarders and fining companies that send jobs overseas I would probably be done.

Well I resisted making a comment on this as long as I could............

George Bush took a lot of heat for the way he handled the Katrina situation. Some of the heat was warranted and some was not IMO.

So how come our current President basically got a free pass for how he pretty much ignored the entire BP fiasco in the Gulf? Follow the money boys and girls..................

This thread is rapidly reaching the point that it will be pulled and I realize that I just contributed to it. Many times as Mods we bite our tongues but I've had enough of STILL hearing how GWB "F'd" everything up. Get over it.
I have a lot more to say but I'll stop with that...........

My apologies to Tyler and all the Mods for this post...... and to SAINTC for hijacking his thread.

One thing that I cannot forget about Katrina is how the sucker WOULD NOT GO AWAY!!  It was massive and just lingered....could not get it to leave.  Most storms I have been in, and there have been many, they hit like George Foreman and then thy get out of the area.  Katrina hit like an atomic bomb and STAYED.  Still a cat 3 150 miles inshore.....A monster and a day no one down here will ever forget.
