Hey Gilligan hope all is well in Colorado, *Here there are over 300 boats abandoned on the lake . http://www.galvnews.com/story.lasso?...84&-session=Th... The EL Lago Marina was one of the worst wiped out, sadly Silvers wife could not handle the pressure. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?se...cal&id=6517696 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! Wilbur Hubbard- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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? Joe |
