So if you have no sympathy for say some 80somethings who just stayed home as they always did, well whatever. So maybe you can add that caveat to it as well. Obviously those who remain in harms way (assuming they have another way out) take the responsibility for themselves. But how many just can't get out? Hey, you saw about 100,000 people left in New Orleans for Katrina. Maybe half (?) could have found a way out. The rest probably didn't have transportation, got stuck in nursing homes where they died or maybe were visiting relatives in a hospital.
I don't know dude. I hear what you're saying, but I guess sometimes things are just better left unsaid. Then you don't have to explain yourself.

See, too many of my words in my posts are getting skipped, I said those who COULD get out....I feel horrible about those who absolutely couldn't get out, but staying is just another form of suicide. If it was my grandma on the coastline, I would literally drag her from her home if I had to, no matter how much should would be mad at me afterwards, because I love her to much to see her risk getting herself killed.
Again, I'm saying the people that CAN get out. For the elderly that have no family that cares enough, obvoiusly they couldn't help it...
