She called it dead on (and I paraphrase): "When the tsunami hit, everyone helped everone else, helped them to escape and to rebuild. The ablebodied helped those that were too weak to help themselves. In America people just sit around waiting to be helped or theive and loot, and fight." I'm repulsed by the crowds of refugees sitting around in front of the convention center chanting "we want help, we want help". See that, they *want* help... not "need"... *want*. Many of those people looked able enough to help themselves. Why aren't they doing anything to help each other? Blame the welfare generation. People so used to being provided for that they *can't* help themselves.

What exactly do you want them to do to help themselves Scott? Can they build water purifiers? Want them to start a farm and grow some food? Please Scott tell me what they should be doing. Your whole point is offensive. Why don't we take away everything you own except the clothes on your back, ship you hundreds of miles from your house, cut you off from everyone you know and see how you fair. I don't think your high and mighty self would be so cavalier about the situation.
