It has nothing to do with fantasy at all.

The next time a big quake hits Seattle or nearby, it will be a nightmare that makes apocalyptic movies look like comedies. You're due for it. Perhaps you're unaware that when/if it happens, the resources you will need be on the EAST side of the mountains.

And that's FEMA's plan, not mine. Think New Orleans, post-Katrina, but your assistance staging itself somewhere around Grandview or Ritzville.

And while thousands of your fellow citizens die, you will rub your hands together with glee while telling anyone who will listen that they deserved it.

Sick.

If there's an earthquake we'll need wine and nuclear waste?

I agree with the wine part, though I've been stockpiling that so I think my family will be covered.

This is the heart of modern day Conservatism...thanks to Ayn Rand, Uncle Mitt, and Gordon Gekko - Greed is good, and screw everyone else.

Yet these people are too afraid to put their greed to the test and go Galt on us.

I don't blame you, as you were probably born that way. And society needs people like you to be programmers and engineers!

You know nothing about me. I raised children, and volunteered for many years in youth programs (up to the tune of 10 grand of my own money a year and 1-2 days a week) and I understand what true caring is. It means you make sober judgments and not just enable destructive behavior by allowing people to be dependents by giving them things.

Funny, your attitude mirrors that of about a 14 year old.

Not at all.

I and my family will be integral to your recovery. Because we'll be the volunteers with mad skills. We have them and are good at them. Everything from logistics to emergency medicine.

Like I said, you poor people have NO IDEA AT ALL who you mock and what kind of people they are.

I'm sure the Boy Scouts thanks you for your service. $10,000 is a lot of popcorn though.

Lol, I was right.

Can't wait to see your l33t knot tying skills! Maybe we can catch a squirrel with the cool bow and arrow you can fashion out of dental floss and a twig.

Neither do you. You mistakenly believe that everyone who disagrees with you is a "taker" who believes government owes them a living.

At least in my case, that is a complete lie. I work and pay taxes -- just like you.
