One of the forwarded e-mails I received today had a sharp observation that I, for once, agreed with:

Is it just me?

As you watch the flooding in the Midwest, have you noticed that there
are no farmers running around with stolen plasma TVs or holding stolen
liquor over their heads.

There’s no looting or yelling ‘Where’s Bush?’, ‘Where’s FEMA?,  Where’s my check?’, or  ‘Why isn’t the Gov’t out here saving me and my farm?’

Likewise, I’ve also noticed there are no reports of any other country coming
to help or sending aid.

And where is Reverends Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton

Shocking contrast isn’t it?

This is easy to answer. It is because the farmers and midwestern communities are used to rolling up their sleeves, getting to work and helping each other. As for the foreign aid, who expects that? Our politicians have done a wonderful job of mucking up foreign relations without out civilian input (and definitely without our blessing).
