Think, People

Does anyone remember the devastation the Hurricane Rita wrought? It seems that the public has to remember than New Orleans was devastated by Katrina. In fact Katrina didn't cause the damage that they claim, it only accelerated the erosion of the levees. Katrina didn't "destroy" New Orleans, it only rained and blew on it. The dikes are what flooded it out. Guess who build those dikes? Right, the US Government.
Rita however, wiped entire communities off the map. Why aren't we raising more monies to help these people? I know why. Because these towns aren't "party" towns like New Orleans. These are communities full of hard-working people, that care for each other. New Orleans had one of the highest crime rates in the country and now most of the people responsible for this crime are scattered across the country (mostly in my state of Texas).
Crime in the city of Houston has risen over 90% of what it was last year. Nothing has changed there except for the huge influx of "victims" from Katrina. Why hasn't the federal government stepped in and eliminated this problem? I guess it's easier for them to deny a problem than accept that there is a problem. Case in point-WMD's in Iraq, they never had them. The invasion of a sovereign nation, not just once but twice in this administrations history. What are they hiding? Was 9/11 a carefully orchistrated power-play by the government? Not just to take power here, but over-seas. Everyone is paranoid of "terrorist" attacks here at home, but nothing has really changed since that day in 2001. The only "terrorists" we need to worry about are those that are elected into our government. Remember which group of elected officials allowed so many of our fellow countrymen to be killed on foreign soil, so on the next election you can honestly vote for those who care about "our" country and not those away from home.

Talk about it!

Peace (if we can ever have it)

Stuck in Conneticut (or whoever it's spelled)

Work sent me up to this gods-forsaken state for training for work. The sad thing is that most of the people at this training session don't know thing one about restaurant management. Go fucking figure?

Be back home in a few more days. I have some more stuff to talk about when I get back.

Peace!!!!!

Royally Pissed off

I'll talk about it later. Have to go to CT. for training for work. Will vent a whole hell of a lot more.

Peace!

I just got back into town

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a nice guy. I got an email from corporate asking for help with disaster relief in Port Arthur, Tx. I volunteered after getting my boss' blessing. I get there last Tuesday and I find out that it's not to help victims, but an oil company get back on it's feet. We worked our asses off the first 2 days without any thanks or help from the chef running the operation. The whole time the prick kept yelling at us saying that we are idiots and that we don't know what we are doing. That night the VP of OPS shows up to see how things are going. The 4 other guys are too scared of him to tell him what is really going on. But he sees how we are living and asks if one person would like to go help out the operation in Louisiana. I get drafted for it. On the drive over I tell him exactly what was going on.

The funny thing is that the 4 other guys have more experience than I do, but I take over the op in La. and it is the only one that ran smoothly. Things have gone so well that we are talking about creating a Disaster Recovery Program and guess who they want to advise on it. Yup, it looks like things are on the up and up for old Robster. I just got home a few hours ago and I had a girl that I know call me up and want to go out drinking, so I have to get ready for that.

Peace!
