Putting tape over a leak only slows down the inevitable.

If problems can be fixed correctly early on the cost should be less.
What we have now is a need to totally revamp essential services.
The victims of Hurricane Sandy are still without proper shelter and food.
I lived in Staten Island many years ago. It was difficult for me to feel joy as I sat down to a hot Thanksgiving and Christmas meal knowing that 100 miles south of me thousands were suffering.

On this mornings news, I saw that power had been restored to the barrier islands of New Jersey. People are still living without heat and running water. I can't believe help hasn't arrived.

How many deaths will be related to the aftermath of Sandy?

I agree with you, Tom Rinaldo.

The Republicans don't have the right answers.
The recent disaster in New York is warning to redirect funds into rebuilding the infrastructure of our cities. Clearly . . . we need to rethink our spending.

I hear ya on that, my friend.

The damn electric water heater in our new home runs out of hot water in 18 minutes. [img][/img]

We've had the heater for our birdbath for over 10 years. It's a good investment for winter birdwatching.
Yesterday, I watched a starling splashing around in the warm water complete with a snowy background.

Yep, coffee with DU and birdwatching.
I am truly blessed.

Sounds like a long running ponzie to me.

Pay in to the promises get nothing back.

Let's see

Bernie Madoff stole all my money.

My carrying permit won't cover traveling out of state.

The lawyer . . . you wouldn't want my lawyer.

Can I offer you a drink? [img][/img]

About In_The_Wind

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~~~~~~~~~ For, it ends in the blink of an eye. Carpe Diem (Seize the day)!
