A fella on an online messageboard I frequent created a thread touting the fact that he was accepted into the University of Florida graduate school program for industrial and systems engineering. I replied to his post by saying he could come on over here and fix our levees when he graduates.
His response?
“There’s no fucking reason that city should’ve ever been built up (down?) as it is.”
I told him that he would make a fine addition to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
he won’t last long at a florida school with that opinion ask him why the power took so long to get back up in west palm and south after wilma last year… the florida power company’s lack of planning and engineering intelligence caused a huge swatch of the atlantic coast of our hurricane taking buddy to go dark for a couple weeks for almost no reason (and I was there due to a bad choice in hurricane evacuation from Katrina and Rita, ugh three storms in three months in three states [tx, la, fl])
maybe some memories of andrew will remind him of what the country will due when called upon for the right state
Engineering? Hell, the Bush administration wants him NOW!
Good freakin’ response Darlin’!
Where does all that HOSTILITY come from, at such a young age?
My guess it comes as a “blame the victim” alternative to accepting the fact their their country is not nearly as strong and powerful as they were led to believe.
