OK...I didn't mean to offend anyone...and I didn't mean we do not always help each other in need.That's what made America great.And it is christian to help the poor. Just like after all disasters.Like what the Red Cross does...no stores or places to eat are open...so they furnish meals, etc....but I saw where thousands still live in Fema trailors, from Katrina?Three years. The next day, after IKE...when folks ventured out, who had remaied in their homes, in Galveston...they were lookng for coffee and cigarettes from people outside.I don't get it.Why didn't they prepare? I also know in some of the coastal places it may be famiies who have been there all their lives, and know nothing else but to go back to the same life...fishng or whatever.But I just don't see the government responsible for natural disasters.
