Up here, in the "Mile-Hi City", we just recovered from a Historic event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
FYI:
George Bush did not come.
FEMA did nothing.
No one howled for the government.
No one blamed the government.
No one even uttered an expletive on TV.
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.
Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.
No one looted.
Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.
No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water.
Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny.
Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snowbound families.
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.
We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.
We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate."
It does seem that way, at least to me.
I hope this gets passed on.
Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a living. |

Yup, thats how it should be OP. Glad to see that everything is back on track, without declaring a national emergency. Odd how I never even heard of it though, I knew there was "weather in Denver" from a report from the stewerdesses that live below me, but thats all I heard about it...then again I dont watch the talking box very much. I know this may sound racist, but other posters had asked a question that comes to mind, I will try to say this as respectfully as possible. What is the approximate percentage of Blacks (Mis-termed African Americans, as we dont call "whites" English-Irish-Polish-German....etc -Americans) or Hispanics in the area? I ask this out of curiosity not as a racial rhetoric. I have been in job situations (mostly invilving manual labor) where some migrant laborers from Mexico could work circles around me all day, every day, and the same with some black people. My question is more out of a type of "how do they operate in the extreme cold" question rather than a "yeah you all pooled together because you didnt have the "ethnic garbage" weighing you down" rhetoric. Just thought it wise to try n clarify. |
