What's different about the Astrodome is...well, primarily....the toilets work and there isn't all that water inside
Dunno if my questions are similar to shmokes', but how are they being bussed out if it's flooded, and why are those busses running now, instead of earlier? Is this the example MrC is going to point to about "the right feigning sympathy"?
Oh, and regarding the link MrC gave us, and Chad's viewpoint - has anyone taken a LOOK at that ridiculous link? Something jumped out at me. Kinda goes along with what Chad is saying, but evidently MrC isn't wanting to actually look at the story too carefully.
After being rescued from her roof, Moses said she was among those unable to evacuate before the hurricane. "My mother-in-law went out of town, but I didn't have any money, so I couldn't,"
So let me get this straight. Someone from her family was evacuating, i.e. acting to
save their life, and this chick says money was the reason she couldn't hitch a friggen ride with the mother of her husband? That's asking to suspend logic for far too shaky a reason. Are we to believe they were able to talk to one of the few people with such a PISS-POOR relationship with a relative that they wouldn't take them away from a situation with the very real possibility/probability they'd die? That borders on attempted murder, and it's simply not a plausible story.
They stayed because they wanted to, and "I didn't have any money" is yet another stupid excuse. Please fill us in on how her day at work is going today, since she and everyone else who stayed obviously have to get back to work because they're living day to day.
Fall for something else, but spare us the poverty drivel.
