Hurricanes
Honestly...what is the big deal with these storms in America? Not even America...but the Gulf area? Florida and the entire Southeast get multiple Hurricanes in an average year...no big deal. No big remorse, no big fund-raisers...nothing. The "uncivilized" people...ie Eastern Asia get multiple Typhoons a year...nothing. They don't have the money to deal with the "devastation" and yet, they do. Point being, they spend their money in building things that withstand the storms that come year after year. Why, in the richest nation in the world, don't we do the same thing? Why do we tempt nature by building a city housing a million people on the the ocean's coast BELOW sea level? After living through 5 rather large typhoons in one year, and having nothing more happen then having to clean up trees...replace a few broken car windows, I have no remorse for Americans in this tragedy. Stop being so pig-headed, America...Coastal America...use your money wisely. The northern states never ask for money after blizzards, no matter how bad they are. The central states never ask for money after Tornadoes, no matter how bad they are. No states have asked for money for wildfires, floods, or anything else...THEY EXPECT THEM TO HAPPEN...they live through it year after year...they build their communities with their respective "disasters" in mind...what makes the "Hurricane States" so special? One more thought however insensitive it might be...INSURANCE. Hey, I have no problem inviting displaced persons into my house until they can get theirs' rebuilt...providing food and clothing, but this whole situation that the media has created is just outright ridiculous.
ps...still too busy/lazy to change the quotes & person of the week (ie George Washington stuff from February). Sorry...all in good time.

Ok, Martsch, here are the latest updates from the border. In March, we rescued 22 Chinese girls from being smuggled into the US to be lifelong prostitutes. They were being smuggled in by "coyotes" who were being paid $20,000 each girl to get the job done. Do your math, and that is $440,000 that the Coyotes didn't make, so you can imagine that sooner or later, they will want to remove this thorn in their side. I am going down there again tomorrow for a week. The situation there is absolute chaos. The illegals sense the amnesty bill might pass, so they want their share of the gravy train. They must be able to state that they have been in the US since 2004, so if they are here, they can do so, and stay.
