is this a good idea? whenever there is some sort of disaster that requires outside aid and

assistance, of course it is given. that goes without saying. HOWEVER, I think that when those areas have reps who have voted against aid for others, those reps need to be on the front lines of the disaster repair and reconstruction. get their worthless behinds out there, cleaning up--whether it is fallen trees, flooded roads, damaged buildings, working soup kitchens, WHATEVER. the aid, of course, is not contingent on this, but it is understood that these cretins have to make some sort of atonement for their colossal stupidity and insensitivity.

(of course, I am not saying what I think REALLLLY ought to be done with them. . .)
