Come on! Do you fall apart when electricity on the street goes out? No. You light a few candles, break out the cards, and try to keep the kids warm/cool. You perservere. Do you fall apart when the building electrical fails? No, you accept it's a matter of inconvenience (and the rest of the day off) and make due.
Yes, this was a lot larger, had greater impact, but that's no reason to fold up like a beach chair. We make the best of it. Treat it like the aftermath of a snowstorm. The electricity will be back on, life will return to normal, and you'll have a story to tell the kids in 20 years or so.
How could you stand 5 minutes' worth?
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!
O'Reilly had some idiot psychologist on answering questions. Someone asked what to do with whining kids who were bored (no TV, no PS2, etc.). Her suggestion was that they weren't really bored, they were SCARED, and that was why they were whining. What a load! I've seen my kids scared during electrical stomrs and I've seen my kids bored during power outages. Big difference, and I've never seen them whine when they're scared.
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.
