Cass, lol the more I read your responses, the more I think that you might be a board troll trying to bring attention to yourself by distorting peoples posts.Are these really your opinions or are you just making conversation.?FYI I was comparing Katrina with Haiti and mearly pointing out that we had local problems , just to inform you and others like you that your dollars are ALSO needed HERE to help your OWN CITIZENS.We have problems here too that need to be addressed.Let me give you an analogy.I have no problem helping my neighbor work on his house, none whatsoever, but if my house has a roof that is leaking shouldn't I fix mine first? That is the point I am trying to make. You in turn become Americas first Drama Queen for Haiti because of what I posted. It somehow became distorted in your mind that I have a problem with all the Aid we are sending. NONSENSE. Totally ridiculous.I never said we shouldn't be helping out. Please learn how to read before you post ridiculous opinions about someone elses posts. If you don't understand what is written , ask them to explain, before you start spouting off nonsense remarks. Also , I am sure that the people in Etna who lost EVERYTHING will be thrilled to read your post of how insignificant their problems were.I guess according to you everyone doesn't deserve the same treatment. Why are their problems less important? I would like to know. They pay taxes just like the rest of us, shouldn't they expect something as well.I thought in America we were all suppose to be equally treated without discrimination. Unfortunately, it is more dramatic and exotic and probably more tax friendly to send your dollars over seas. We have suffering here too.
