Disasters bring out the dumbest of the dumb.

The morning hurricane Rita hit, the wind was still blowing and gusting over 50mph. Limbs were still coming down from the trees.

A girl stopped in front of the house and asked if my electricity was back on yet.

She honestly did not have a clue that the power lines she had been driving over is how the power got to her house.

She honestly believed the power came from the post itself.

She also didn't know that gas stations had gas delivered to them. She thought it just came out of the ground.

To this day I'm still dumbfounded as to how ignorant she was and how she was even able to function at all.

The girl you described undoubtedly is an Obama voter, LOL.

Nor, I bet, did she know that the gas station uses electricity to pump gasoline 'out of the ground'.

No idea that food needed to be delivered to the grocery stores either...
