OK CJ,

Guys and Gals,
Take a moment tonight for thoughts and prayers for the folks on the Gulf
coast. Winds are now 160 knots. To our newsgroupers in the Mobile area I
sure hope yall have gotten out of Dodge. Let's all hope that things won't be
as bad as everyone is saying. Please do what you can to help the victims, I
am sure lots of our help will be needed and greatly appreciated.

I do not see one word about letting people die in there, looks to me like I
am asking for everyone to help however they can. I also do not see anything
in there about people's skin color , nationality, nor financial situation.

Neither did I say anything about that. What makes you think I attacked
you on those grounds?

I
do not feel I need the Federal Gov, robbing me of my paycheck on useless
crap programs that do not work. I do believe that a man with any kind of
feeling towards humanity does not need big brother to say he has to help
someone. I try to help anyone I can. And I do not only do it when a disaster
strikes. I do feel if the gov laid off everyones income, more money would be
used to help others than what can be done through the tax and give programs.

Where have I disagreed with you on any of this?


Being a free nation does not mean and never has meant a free ride,...if
it does then we all need to stop working because alot of folks are being
cheated out of freedom I think you need to make exceptions for your
theory.


Where I did say that being a free nation means a free ride?

Please do not misrepresent what I say. I say that there are too few
people who recognize their interdependence on one another, that there
are too many dependent types waiting for their mommies and daddies to
take care of them and too many independent types who don't think they
have a responsibility to anyone else. Can you really disagree with that?
