Osiyo,
This letter is from our community council member, a just retired NYCity school teacher. The suffering from the lack of planning and the cheap, nearsighted policies of this American Society makes these stories, stories of human sacrifice with less humanity than an Aztec Priest. What is hidden can be so much worse than what is not. The question here is whether the community, the city, the state and the nation will hear the suffering and begin to plan for a serious, humane and loving society or will simply go their merry way of obscene wealth and great poverty. Now that Dawkins and company have abolished religion we see how destitute the other Domains of society are in creating a morality and humanity, including Richard Dawkins' science. As I enter this age group I hear many of these stories and as I listen to the politicians and the private sector I wonder how I went so long not hearing them when they were there all along. Our Council Member speaks correctly when she reminds us that prayers for the survivors are the least we can do. No matter what our spiritual journey, in old age we are all one and we are all in the boat with the tiger. We can pray for heaven but if our last days here are in misery the spirit will not be calmed easily. One should remember that it was the church in all of its manifestations that humanized the aristocrats of Europe. Now, by virtue of a predatory science, we are defenseless. You can blame the WASPS but they went to church and the church was different then. It had fangs. (You can ask any Indian, Black or Jew about that.) Outsiders didn't fare so well but these church members didn't feed on their young and the elderly. Remember, the only protection, in Europe, for orphans was the Catholic Church. Today's barbarism exposes the beast. Today, the converted Catholic Members of Congress refused to sign the UN Treaty on disabilities. This is indeed an upside down time. These are not the people I grew up with, taught with, in their schools, nor conducted their choirs. This is a different breed altogether. They must all be converts. That is the problem of proselytizing. REH Grandfather Rey and Family, Wado for all the love and the prayers. Your love and prayers help sustain me. Dad had suffered for weeks after the hurricane. He and mom had been evacuated from Sea Crest Nursing Home the night of the storm. At the first evacuation sight, he saw mom pass away. At the second evacuation sight, he did very poorly. He went from nursing home to ICU intubation to the hospital to the nursing home to hospice and finally to the emergency room where he died. His suffering and his holding on to life gave me the time and the space between his passing and mom passing. Another gift from my father was his dying on the last day that Sea Crests' full staff would work for the Sea Crest residents at the Rutland Nursing Home (the second evacuation site). I had been wondering for days as to how the Rutland staff would care for Sea Crest residents and Rutland residents. It has been ten years and seven months that I've cared for my parents.It was a very hard job, as many of you have experienced. i learned many things. i found that, even though it was a huge job, it was a pleasure in caring for them and it was a pleasure in having them all to myself. Even though I'm glad that they are not suffering as they had, honestly i miss their bodies - i miss them greatly. What grounds me are our ages 88, 86 and 64. Now they are in my life in a different way. A way that is like ever ready at times. A way that is like all around like... An all knowing way... I know that i will be in your prayers, but i ask that you please pray for the surviving Sea Crest residents, staff and families, who have suffered so much in two evacuation moves from Coney Island to East New York (Brooklyn) to East Flatbush and some to Albany, New York. Some are confused, some have aged, most are discomforted from living and sleeping (on mattresses or in beds) with twelve (or less) to twenty of them in a day room 24/7. They must continue to live and work this way until late december or early january. And Sea Crest was just one of the many nursing homes that had to be evacuated.

Also complementary skills must develop. Females must be able to develop skills in assessing the honesty of males when making statements about their economic potential. Ambitious males must also be able to try and soss out any political conspiracies secretly ranged against them. I think corruption is a permanent activity in man's affairs. It can be at very low levels during the early days of a new institution in which all its members are benefiting, but will inevitably creep in sooner or later as competition and/or numbers become greater.
