borlandiaPeople keep using the Texas/Louisiana comparison with the hurricanes to push political agendas. Allegedly, it's either because Bush is from Texas and the gov't cares more about the Texans or it's because the Texas gov't is just better than Louisiana's.
Can't we just say, it's a hurricane? Shit happens? Stuff gets blown over? Help people maybe instead of pushing an agenda? Keep gas and other raw prices the same instead of inflating them and using the hurricane as an excuse?
I was talking to my dad the other day about sports, and I was saying when you sit back and think about it, they're silly, and it's silly to think about it as much as I do. My example was thinking about grown men in "uniforms" with names like "Pirates" and "Chiefs" like they're pretending to be some badass group of guys playing a game. His answer was, "sports are a great way to keep people distracted from how incredibly corrupt the people in power are." I don't agree with him, but if you tweak that, it's a good way to just get your mind off stuff and forget about how stupid stuff is.
I could say more, but I helped my friend Matt move really heavy stuff into our apartment for about 3 hours today. I'm really burnt.
