^What he said^ I actually discussed this with my neighbors and they were more than happy to participate. Furthermore, if we had weekend evacuee guests, I was making plans to send the children away for the weekend so they would not be a factor.

Furthermore, and if you must know...We have a vacant home on our property and a barn (if they do not have a tent) that I was going to put people up in. No one would be staying under the same roof with us! I am no idiot! Just someone trying to offer help so no one here would have to go to the "Superdome", follow?! If the government is this nation's ONLY source of help in a disaster, then we are all dead anyway!

The way I see it, everyone who thought this was a GOOD idea and had kind words to say are people that see the good in others and can be trusted because of the good within themselves. Those of you who think helping strangers in need is a BAD idea because they are only there to harm you are exactly the type of people who would not be welcome and would be turned away at the gate because they see the badness within themselves and expect that same behavior/badness from others.

If you get nothing else from this thread, I want you out there to know that kindness still exists. Not that you would know it to look at the mods of this website, but we do exist! You possess the potential to help others...YOU possess the ability to determine what is and what is not in your best interest...YOU can change this world for the better and not give up to the evils in this world just because everyone tells you the world is evil and are resolved to do nothing about it!

WE ARE NOT GIVING THIS WORLD OVER TO THE DARKNESS YET! Not while the LIGHT is still here and we can aid others on their journey. The darkness will have their time soon...BUT NOT YET!!!

And the offer still stands!
