Greetings from Calico Blackie!
Hospital Staff evacuating patients during Hurricane Sandy
Usually, I write about politics and the seemingly insurmountable problems faced by the citizens of the world of today.
But this isn’t the immediate time to worry about politics.
This is a time to worry about ourselves and a time to help one another in their time of need.
I read comments after an article regarding Hurricane Sandy and, while most of them were supportive of the victims, you still saw the occasional idiot who claimed: “This wasn’t bad. What are those people crying about?”
All I can say is: What dicks!
Heck, it’s a tragedy to you if THAT’S YOUR CAR
I’ll bet they would think it was a HORRIBLE tragedy if they had lost THEIR home, THEIR POSSESSIONS, THEIR family members, or THEIR legs in a terrible storm.
But well…..
Those are the same jackasses that sit complacently in their homes and hear about the poor, the homeless, the hopeless, our loss of our Constitutional rights, and the various everyday tragedies going on around them and don’t give a damn as long as it isn’t happening to them.
Screw ‘em.
A homeless person “riding out” Hurricane Sandy. Tragic, if it’s YOU
When something does happen to them, they’ll cry the loudest and look for a place on which to lay the blame.
They’ll want help.
They’ll want sympathy.
They’ll want…..
Screw ‘em.
I’ve heard that Romney has said he would like to privatize FEMA and leave emergency services up to each individual State.
Think about it.
Would you like to see Halliburton come into YOUR area when a disaster strikes YOUR community?
“I’m from the Government. I’m here to help.” A nightmare, but still better than Halliburton
Or, for that matter, would you like to see ANY private firm come in that will be tasked to assist YOU AND YOUR FAMILY as cheaply as possible in order to keep their profit margin up?
But, oh no.
We can’t have a government agency dedicated to helping the people in times of emergency.
THAT’S SOCIALISM!
Idiots.
Anyway…..
It’s pouring rain outside here today out west. We’re subject to floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and even a volcano (Mt. Shasta), so it pays to never get smug and complacent about anything in our lives.
It also pays to never become complacent about the suffering of others. When you do that, you’re only hurting yourself. Let’s help our neighbors.
Be an activist in your community.
Think about it
Lend a hand.
OCCUPY WALL STREET
OCCUPY ALL STREETS
They’re our streets.

I’m not sure humanity will survive computers, but I’m glad computers allow me to see your site.
You can come to LA anytime and visit if you want to get out of the rain.
Well Cindi……. If it ever “all goes to hell” you & yours can come up here and help plant a bigger garden & raise more chickens!
