I feel badly for the poor guy. But . . .

Why do people not anticipate this kind of thing and prepare for it? Why do
people keep falling for the obviously false, liberal claptrap that a knight
in shining, government armor is going to gallop out of the sunrise and
rescue them from every eventuality, foreseen and unforeseen?

Why is it a marina in hurricane country didn't have a plan that included
rebuilding after a hurricane wiped them out? When did it ever get to the
point where there was nothing but despair leading to a suicide? Where was
the financial cushion? Why is a newspaper article furthering the insanity
and acting like it was all somebody else's fault. Griping that government
help isn't timely or enough. Worse still is the question: "Why do people
reading that propaganda nod their heads in agreement?" *It's a barometer
into the soul of a soulless liberal society.

For how many years did the Silvers own and operate the marina? 10? 15? 20?
Unless they just recently purchased the marina, why did they not set aside a
percentage of earnings annually in a rebuilding kitty? Why did they neglect
having a contingency plan? And, if they just recently purchased it why did
they wipe out most of their working capital so there was nothing left in the
kitty for eventualities like hurricanes? Did they not have insurance of some
sort? Where was their business plan? In hurricane country partial or total
destruction it's a matter of when, not if.

It sounds like they embraced the liberal lie that big brother would come to
their rescue. How many times are people going to see this is rarely the case
before they smarten up and become responsible for taking care of their own?
Texan's, in particular, seem to like to brag about how they are so ruggedly
independent and manly. While I've not seen the level of whining as was and
still is the case in New Orleans - an almost totally liberal bastion - there
is still an embarrassing level of whining in the Galveston area where folks
pride themselves on being personally responsible and independent.

As long as people believe government is their friend and helpmate they are
living a lie. You have but two real friends in this life - the Good Lord and
His gifts to you. Any real man realizes this truth and acts accordingly. For
help of a critical nature look first to the Lord, then yourself, your
friends and your church in that order. Government does not appear anywhere
on the list.

Wake up, people!

I've only meet mr Silvers a few times.
Before the housing bust he was looking for investors to build a high
rise like the hundred seen on the coast of Florida. Infact Florida
builders were snapping up water front property here at as high as 30
million an acre. I feel sorry for the kids.

Why he or she expected FEMA or the SBA to help is beyond me. They
passed out all the free money, generators, mobile homes, trailers,
credit cards, MRE's, rent checks, and aid to the Katrina "Victims".

Next hurricane here the Governer will request that we all make
cardboard help signs, line up at the astrodome and act like victims
too, if we expect to be treated fairly by the people passing out govt
cheese.

1000 bucks a mo for slip rentals in Florida? Does that come with a
jar of Vasaline?

Hi Joe,

Things are pretty good here for the most part. No real big unemployment
problems since most of those who lost their jobs went back to Mexico. A good
number of foreclosures on houses but the small investor is locked out
because lenders have a limit on the number of houses you can have mortgaged.
Gas is under $2.00, food and ammunition prices are dropping so it's not all
gloom and doom. I plan on getting down your way in a few weeks to see my old
yacht, its new owner and sniff around for another fine addition to the
fleet.

I hope you are getting a new RedCloud II going, it's people like you that
make America great - independent, self reliant people that never give up on
their vision.

Partially true but a vision will not be realized without hard work and
competent action. Although Joe has demonstrated he does not fear hard work
it is the competence angle upon which he has yet to get a firm grip.

Right you are Wilbur and there's also luck, both good and bad. I believe Joe
has all it takes and more to be successful.

Perhaps, but only time will tell.

What concerns me is he's too full of pride. I have yet to read where he
admits he screwed up royally in losing Red Cloud unnecessarily. I fear that
until and unless he steps back and takes a realistic appraisal of the whys
and wherefores he's doomed to continue his "bad luck." Part of being a man
is to admit one's mistakes and not continue to always blame them on fate or
bad luck. Until one can admit a mistake one will never be able to correct a
mistake or forestall the same thing happening in the future.

Hi Joe,

Things are pretty good here for the most part. No real big unemployment
problems since most of those who lost their jobs went back to Mexico.

We still have a large contigent of Mexicans and since the storm a
influx of Floridians here to earn money picking up trash and fixing
things. They are easy to spot as they drive slow with one turn signal
on

A good
number of foreclosures on houses but the small investor is locked out
because lenders have a limit on the number of houses you can have mortgaged.
Gas is under $2.00, food and ammunition prices are dropping so it's not all
gloom and doom.

They say here there are a run on AR's, you can't find a Bushmaster is
the state.
Ammos gone up a bit, some times it's better to shop on-line or hit the
gun show.

I plan on getting down your way in a few weeks to see my old
yacht, its new owner and sniff around for another fine addition to the
fleet.

Lots of boats to be had here, bring an empty trailor. If you need any
assistance let me know.

I hope you are getting a new RedCloud II going, it's people like you that
make America great - independent, self reliant people that never give up on
their vision.

Well shucks, you're making me blush Gilligan. No RedCloud II but we
are working towards the next coffee boat.
