perhaps it is more of an object lesson? such as what can happen when the people work together? ok a few classmates cleaning up a football field isnt the same as cleaning up after a major storm. but what happens when 50,000 people get together to start to clean up their town after a major storm? dont you think that things would get done quicker? stop thinking small stories and big government, and think about big results. want another object lesson? witness the amish and what happens when they have big problems. many years ago someone went around and burned down amish barns. now normally things would move slowly, so arson investigators would be able to sift through the evidence and try to find a perp. but the amish instead would band together and rebuild the barn, often times in two to three days. and the operation would be so complete that arson investigators would have virtually NOTHING to look through.

the point is that when the people band together, they become a force to be reckoned with.

This question to me is sorta like the Economist's endorsement of Obama.

"Can America do better than Obama? Yes...Is Romney it...probably not."

Translation: The field blows.
Application to thread: Would you rather drown or be burn to death?
Translation of my application to thread: They both suck *******. We're screwed.

Is it 2016 yet?
