Reply #7: I can not fix electric wires....I can not remove downed trees.

We could not leave our home except in one direction because huge oaks lay across the streets. And houses.

That sounds like George Bush.

That sounds like the new credo of the Young Republicans...if you can't take care of yourself you ain't worth nothing.

Our neighbor died the day after the 3rd storn hit us. He was stressed beyond belief. He was as prepared as he could be with his disability, and as prepared as neighbors could help him be.

But he could not handle the heat. And we could not help. We could not find ice anywhere, we could not find a generator then for him. We did all we could, but he died. 58 years old.

You sound like the new mentality of the GOP has taken hold.
