1 Write something negative and pointed, that doesnt really bring any new info to light, it just gives you a chance to rant.
2 When called on it try to spin it 90 degrees and say we totaly missed your reason for posting.
Using "hope" was especially cute. The words actual meaning has no connection to anything you said. But its vague yet positive so people might be less likely to dispute it.

I don't dispute your opinion on my post - it is after all YOUR opinion - however, I believe when I said this in my first post...
Quote:Oh well, I just hope the government gets FEMA up to speed so if another tragedy strikes, weâll be fully prepared. I believe everything happens for a reason and perhaps the incident in New Orleans helped create a more stable and quick to respond FEMA, and possibly expose weaknesses in our current governments administrations that needed exposing to ultimately make it a stronger government in times ahead. Time will tell.
...it clearly stated my feelings on the matter. I was only clarifying for communications sake in the HOPES that you might understand my point of view, but apparently, you do not.
Is it so hard to understand that I do not like Bush or his policies, however I strongly feel pointing the finger will not solve anything. I believe Bush has made some very poor decisions that has and will cost us well into the future. It was upon deep thought that I came to the conclusion that the people in the USA need to support the concepts of unity and give support to our leaders if they ever want to change anything.
In my line of work as a Field Manager, I often talk the average citizen (and illegal) here in California and I will tell you there is a growing number of people who don't care about being an American. It means nothing too them! Certain ethnicities born here donât even consider themselves American. They don't care what the presidentâs doing, has done, or even who that person is. They don't care about New Orleans because they weren't there. They don't care about anything except themselves and they don't view the USA as a "united states!" In my opinion, the morals of this country are deteriorating.
I recently saw a called movie âHeroâ with Jet Li that took place before China was one unified country. The nations of China were broken into separate countries that fought and warred all the time. The soon to be ruler of China realized that the only way to make peace for everyone was to unite his people, and the only way of accomplishing that was by conquering them; only then could there be lasting peace. Assassins conspired to murder the ruler, but the greatest warrior of the movie wrote something on the ground that had a profound effect on the main assassin character. Those words this great warrior wrote were "our land." When will all the people of the USA call America "our land?" This concept is the emotion behind my words in my last two posts. Perhaps I should have made my point clearer to avoid an inevitable confusion, but when I wrote it, the wording sounded pretty good to me.
You are the one pointing the finger with spite. Perhaps you should take some time too look within Ghostiger!
