82e Subj : Stupid People To : alt.tv.er From : Barrnabas Collins Date : Sun Aug 28 2005 20:14:14 From Newsgroup: alt.tv.er I'm watching Faux news and they had a report by Shepard Smith where he went up to people on the street and asked them why they are still there. "Don't tell us what to do" were what some of these people said. I wanted to scream at the TV "we're telling you what to do since you are too stupid to get out of the way of FOURTH most powerful hurricane to hit the US mainland. The stom is headed for New Orleans, may veer east or west but as an EMT my biggest fear now is we'll wake up Tuesday morning and find thosuands dead.millions homeless, alot of buidling destroyed, many injured, etc. This is one of those instances where i'm glad i'm not mayor or governor of these areas. You tell people to leave and then they scream when you can't save them in the middle of the storm where everything is being battered by 175+ mph winds, the roads are flooded out, power lines are down, People in New Orleans will tell you they've dodged a buttlet for the last 40 years. The storms usually veer away from the city. So why haven't people realized that their luck may be about to run out, that you have to be really stupid to stay out in New Orleans on Bourbon street, that common sense would tell you if you can't get out of the state, get to the emegency shelter at the New Orleans super dome. After alll with 175 mph winds, alot of rain, etc there may be very little left. These people were born with a brain, time to use it. What part of stupid do these people not comprehend? http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/askjack/2003-10-09-hurricane-betsy_x.htm ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- . 0
