THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT
South Dakota News This text is from a county
emergency manager out in the western part of South
Dakota state after the recent snow storm.
WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered
from a Historic event --- may I even say a "Weather
Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic
blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH
that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles,
stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow
banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of
communities and cut power to 10's of thousands .
FYI:
George Bush did not come....
FEMA did nothing....
No one howled for the government...
No one blamed the government
No one even uttered an expletive on TV...
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit
Our Mayor's did not blame Bush or anyone else
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else either
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit - or report
on this category 5 snow storm
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....
No one looted....
Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something
Nobody expected the government to do anything either
No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris
Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera, No Shaun Penn, No
Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found
And Nope, we just melted the snow for water Sent out
caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed
cars The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks
and didn't ask for a penny. Local restaurants made
food and the police and fire departments delivered it
to the snow bound families Families took in the
stranded people - total strangers
We Fired up wood stoves Broke out coal oil lanterns or
coleman lanterns We put on an extra layers of clothes
because up here it is "Work or Die"
We did not wait for some affirmative action
government to get us out of a mess created by being
immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for
'sittin at home' checks.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has
never fallen this early...we know it can happen and
how to deal with
it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one
gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90%
most of the world's social problems evaporate."
