and you should never forget that the main reson for the mess in the third world is 20th and 21st centeries colonalsm. so mostly british/US/france are responsible for todays third-world issue.

Yep, you're right, it's all our fault. The primitives cannot do anything to help themselves. Why, when things are bad, they go and play cards, wish death upon others that are successful, and then shout at the heavens for their cruel fate.

Poor primitives; it's all our fault.

I wonder how many of these folks have been stuck 100 feet underground, or 600 feet above street level, because the subways and elevators don't work?

Napalm stoves developed for the 3rd world.
I like it.

Or would they prefer the nuclear ones?
Sit up close where it's nice and warm, kiddies.

We need darkness counselors!

Perhaps she just needed to go hug a stranger in the dark.

"Hi, I'm Jessica."
"Hi, I'm...............Jason, lets hug."

We need darkness counselors!

Shhhhhh! I'd be willing to bet somebody would take that idea and run with it - they'd probably manage to convince some government official to pay them for the counseling out of the tax find as well. (grin).

That's right, if Thomas Edison hadn't invented the light bulb, they wouldn't of had to suffer.

Only makes sense to a liberal.

The kids and I are historic reenactors. This spring we joined a hundred or so other reenactors to take over an historic town in the mountains of Virginia and reenact the civilian experience around the time of the Battle of McDowell, 1862. Three days without electricity, running water, the Washington Post, traffic jams, the Internet, cell phones (our phones didn't work out there in the middle of nowhere!), withholding taxes, credit cards, and all the other stresses of modern life. It was bliss! I was able to go through an entire weekend without thinking once about Hillary Clinton! We spent the evenings visiting with friends, reading by the fireplace, teaching the children, listening to and performing music for one another, and simply talking in the silence of the night. It was a joy. Most of us can't bear to return to the twenty-first century after such weekends. The children and I love power outages and are disappointed that the DC-area power grid has been so healthy for the past few years.

The main reason for the mess is despotism, mostly of the Marxist kind. The colonialism excuse is what corrupt leaders tell you to distract you from their thievery.

Hate to tell you this, but the US didn't colonize anyone.

Dump a couple of feet of snow in Manila and what would happen?

It would melt. :)

Thats a "No Sh!tter" ! ! ! It would melt faster in Guam.

Oh, good. Maybe now they will stay home instead of migrating here in droves.

LOL! ;-D

I dunno. I was amused/disgusted when I heard about 5 mins of Savage last night and some woman was on whining about being frightened because she hadn't heard Bush address the issue yet. And Savage was whining along with her! Jeez!

Sounds like little Savage needs his Big Government to assuage his fright and hold his hand.

Hey Mike, what ever happened to self reliance? Here's an example of it Mike;

[Fox News]:Virtually every public building of any size in the Philippines has a back-up generator, and companies often have battery-powered units that can keep their computers going when the electricity is out.
