It's not the governments job to rebuild your house, it's yours. FEMA provides LOANS not gimmies. Also don't you think finding your daughter should be more of a priority than your house for right now?

Yeah, and if you go into an AA meeting, you're likely to find more than one or two assholes. If you were to, say, take a look around yourself at the next big event at Disneyland attended by many Annual Passholders, you'll find more than a few idiots. So, if your point is that there are misdirected people in all situations (oh, and may I point out that this woman is under the kind of stresses that most of us will NEVER experience), you're right.

But I don't think it was. I'm glad, though, that if any of us are ever in a similar situation, we have someone who'll straighten out our priorities for us.

Gosh, thanks.

P.S. What's with the quotation marks around the word, "victims?" Do you think people are lying, just to get into the Astrodome?
