DutchSock, I'm sorry enough of us in Texas didn't die in order to please you. However, you can take great pleasure in the suffering of millions of people here so at least your enjoyment isn't totally ruined. While you're sitting their with your vile hatred, we're cleaning up our neighborhoods the best we can, we're helping not only neighbors but strangers. You don't have to worry about sweating or doing anything except type your filth. Actually, you're the one that needs the sympathy. All of us digging out from Ike can get past the bad times. You're stuck with yourself.
