"you owe me", self destructive mentality because they refuse to take responsibility for their lives.   QuadPirate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: So you saying some people don't deserve our compassion because they made a freakin mistake?

Compassion for those deserving of it has not been compromised by any of the posts I've read here, so you leave me wondering??? I personaly wouldn't live below sea level even if I wasn't in a wheelchair. I feel more for those who lived in the areas other than New Orleans which were wiped out. Why? Common sense tells you not to live in hurricane alley below sea level. Stunt   > No didn't say anything about the government. > > Mark .
