Wilma’s ‘victims’?
At the risk of seeming callous, or worse, I have to wonder if Hurricane Wilma’s “victims” in Florida aren’t in large part responsible for their current plight. Those people had several days’ warning that Wilma was coming. Why on earth didn’t they either evacuate or stock up in preparation for the storm? Florida gets hit by several hurricanes a year; how can Floridians possibly be so unprepared… and then sit there howling at the inept Federal government because they don’t have food and water? Come on, people. You know the drill. Accept some responsibility for taking care of yourself.
