Questions re: The Flooding in Iowa
Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?
Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago ?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines ?
Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
Why haven't we heard from the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton, complaining about the plight of the flood ravaged Iowans?
How come the Federal government hasn't handed out free credit cards to displaced Iowans?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes, liquor and big screen television sets?
When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a "vanilla" Iowa , because that's the way God wants it? When will he start to blame the federal government for the flood?
Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?
Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?
Where's the stadium that the Iowans have turned into a filthy, crime ridden sty?
Could it be that these "red state, backwoods" people know how to take care of themselves
and don't blame others for their problems or expect that others should resolve them?
How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?

It's nice to meet you too Sandy. I hope the Bama Board has made you feel as welcome as it has me!!
I hope this post won't offend anyone. I surely would hate that BUT it's the plain truth. Is it the news media's fault or what?? I feel so bad for those people and yet it doesn't seem like the rest of country is concerned. I know that New Orleans was horrible and I had to agree with a lot of what was said but this is just as bad and yet we don't hear it!! What's up with that?? All of us are important - none more than others. We need to reach out to each other in times of need. I hope that I always have compassion for anyone that has to go through such trials!!
