kallend 2,182 #26 May 21, 2013 Gravitymaster***The second I saw the thread title, and that it was in SC and not BF, I got sad. Anyone here - and I don't care which way you lean - using kids dead from a natural disaster as political point scoring? Go to hell. You should be ashamed of yourself. How about someone who would blame tornadoes like this on Global Warming? Would you have the same level of contempt for them? How about ANYONE who uses tornadoes to promote their view on global warming? Like THIS GUY... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Dude, you're getting pretty jaded. Which government? Federal or local? I have no problem with the local gov having building code requirments Such as trailer parks being required to have them If the locals votes for something other than this, that works to To have the Fed gov make a requiement is a power grab and outside the powers that is has"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Dude, you're getting pretty jaded. 1 - yes - very jaded. 2 - if you think a tax grab will go to better shelters and not diverted for other 'uses', that's another point in the naive column 3 - I told you - 'jaded' as Rush pointed out, it's a local, maybe state response needed (if a response at all is needed, this was a VERY serious natural disaster that maybe no level of reasonable shelter could shield) - let's see if Federal feels compelled to 'take action for the children' and how that really turns out ...

DanG 1 #37 May 21, 2013 I'm not an emotional person, but this makes me really sad. Not the trajedy itself (which is very sad) but the fact that it's already become political. This morning NPR had an interview with the Congressman (R) from this district who happens to live about 1.5 miles from the path. He was very gracious about a personal call he got from Obama. There was no politics mentioned. It restored my faith just a little in where we are as a country. This thread is killing that. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #41 May 21, 2013 QuoteBut a call from the pres and reported on by NPR is, by definition, political. That's just the thing, it wasn't. The interviewer didn't ask, "Did the President call you?" The Congressman mentioned it without prompting. He was clearly grateful that the President had called personally. The Congressman was very gracious and, if you're not yet jaded enough to believe that he was being sincere, apparently Obama was very gracious and sympathetic when he called. Not everything has to be a fight all the time. And not everyone in the government is Dr. Evil. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
