33. Some times they are however
having lived through that period in Mississippi and lived through Katrina, I can tell you who gets hurt the most, the little person. I am here in Phoenix and live on such a meager income I can't afford to leave the valley unless someone gives me a ride, and I am seeing my food stamps reduced each and every month to the point I have cut down to one small meal a day unless someone helps me by giving me more food. I got my internet because a wonderful listener of my show donated it to me so I could continue to broadcast progressive talk and someone like Jeff Farias a wonderful progressive voice back when we had nova m radio network has been without a full time job since he was fired from that job. Think about the raise in food cost, and think what people like Russell Pearce will do, they will go buy their food elsewhere and while their stupid little followers starve, they will just let them. I saw that happen in katrina, I saw the rats throw us little people to the sharks and tell us how those damn liberals were the cause.

I remember how in the old American Football League how New Orleans was to host the All Stars game and when the black players were not treated decent, the white guys on the team said no we won't play. The game was moved and New Orleans didn't get a team. It hurt New Orleans for years and the ones that suffered the most was the rich that had encouraged this garbage.

Phoenix has a love of it's sports programs, and so I say go for moving the 2011 All Star game, boycott the Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Suns and the others. I was going to go see my beloved Saints play the Cardinals in 2010 here, and had planned it so I might be able to do so. Now I plan to not go in protest of this bill and the ones hurt will be the richer ones, not those like myself. Make them pay for this and you have my support, but don't kill me to punish them.
