Texas terrorists help Harvey victims.

We must find this invisible rabbit and stop it!
I get the feeling that those poor folks in Houston don't really give a shit about who it is helping them, or who it is they're helping. They're literally ass-deep in swamp and are just doing what people do when the shit hits the fan ... pulling together.

In the middle of all this social strife and division, it's been amazing seeing people not care about race or being democrat/republican. It's good to see humanity coming first.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Not right now no, but Houston is a majority liberal city so, not sure many GOP voters chose to use those mosques. It wouldn't surprise me if a few did, but I doubt any hard core far right did. As an atheist I can only speak for myself, I was in need and Osteens arena was the only place I could get to at the time, I would bite my tongue for the moment. No, I think in a moment of need humans should not give one fuck who lends them aid. I feel the same way about the doctors who helped my mom. One guy had that stupid picture of Jesus standing behind the doctor guiding his hands. I didn't say shit to him of course, I won't like about what I was thinking though, I did think "You better not be thinking about anything else if you cut my mom open." But I didn't demand my mom not have him as a doctor. If a Christian or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist or Jew saves my ass, I am not going to give a fuck in that moment.
I don't think many in this sort of need would give a fuck about the faith of those who met their needs.

Those are all human beings in trouble out there and they need help. I cannot personally offer meaningful help in person, however, my employer has started a disaster relief fund and I will be sending them a check.

It's too bad we don't seem able to do so as a nation when we have less urgent problems to solve.

The Brian37s of the world are already circling, ready to make a point from atop a corpse. 'Twas ever thus. |
