Maybe there's still hope. Maybe you're more affected by this than you want
to admit and you can't let yourself feel it.
You think I'm a Republican. You think I'm an Atheist. Don't cast aspersions
on me. I'm not a heartless bastard. I'm trying to be pragmatic. The fact
that you actually think that tears from Geraldo fucking Rivera mean
anything other than a photo-op is telling about you.
Everyone should have gotten out. They ignored the warning. Maybe they were
too poor. Maybe they were too stupid. Maybe they had no choice. The fact
is, they should have been gone. They weren't and then they were abandoned
by their usually mother tit-offering government. They are victims, NOT of
this storm. They are victims of a complete lack of organization, care, and
action of the government who usually gives them everything. That's the
tragedy. The upshot of the storm was that it was going to flood a city that
was plotted in a bowl, below sea level, at the mouth of one of the biggest
rivers in the world, in a known HURRICANE area. The property loss was
inevitable. No LIVES needed to be lost. Everything is replaceable except
the life. That's the tragedy.
