ok, fuck you asshole, this morning i donated $714 dollars, my entire
savings account to the red cross. That's almost all the money i have,
it was for a new computer. I did this because 5 members of my family
no longer have homes or possessions because their entire house is under
water (they don't have any flood insurance either). I was not making
light of the situation, nor was i simply amusing my self with song
lyrics. Memphis Minnie wrote that song about a situation just like
this, and as i listened to it this afternoon i was very moved i thought
it might move other people, and perhaps inspire them to do something,
as you said, "positive". In absolutely no way do I see the nightly
news as "a snuff film to enjoy" that's why i haven't turned it on at
all this week. I do applaud your efforts to aid the situation down
there and wish you the best of luck. Think twice before you flame
people, their intentions might not be what you think. Once again good
luck, despite the fact that your post irritated me, I sincerely wish
you nothing but the absolute best in your struggle
