man i nearly punched this guy in the grocery line yesterday. Apparently when the few supplies finally arrived yesterday, AFTER George was there, (i'm surprised he didn't ride in on the top of one of the trucks).. there were quite a few angry words for the soldiers.
Well this asshole
was kvetching.. about see we sent in food and they are still bitching. Loudly! (and other racial crap that I refuse to repeat)
I said to him: Excuse me but this store cannot sell you food for the next 5 days. He looked at me dumb struck. I said.. see you need to feel thirsty, hungry, tired and HOT with no communication from the outside world, surrounded by rotting dead people, sewage that has been left in 97% humidity for 5 days. ONLY then will you understand exactly WHY these people are angry.
He said they should have left. I said.. and left how? Walked? ridden a bicycle in 120MPH winds? did the national guard drive through the neighborhoods before hand offering rides? NO.. but they did get the tourists out.
well it resulted in an ensuing shouting match with about 6 people participating.. finally i just said in my normal voice.. See it is really all about content of character. Left my groceries in the cart and kept on stepping.
As bill maher said last night: George hugged a Negro today, now we can let the supply trucks in. (paraphrased cuz i was 1/2 asleep)
