I didn't hear about it.  But I hear a rumor there was a fire on the NJ Transit train tracks between Newark / Hoboken / Secaucus, and NYC -- either that or a "police action" -- the train out of NYC was delayed indefinitely, and I had to take the PATH to Newark and the train home from there.

Unfortunately, most people have become too forgiving here in the good ole' USA. I'm angry about all the illegals here taking over. Look what happened in Miami when they allowed Cubans to come on over for a while.  You would be hard pressed to find anyone who speak Engish there anymore. And the drugs are apparently running rapant! It's happening again with our Mexican border.  \n\nI have been asking everyone to contact their congressman/ senators and any other legislative persons to let them know how we feel about these issues.  \n\nWe can become one voice again, but everyone has to get off their duff and speak up!!!  If we don't, I, too, am afraid our forefathers efforts will have been in vane.  \n\nScary stuff!!

I believe Puerto Rico is getting worst everyday. The problems in the schools, the strikes, I guess, the problem seems bigger because Puerto Rico is such a small island, that when they all go on strike it seems really big and worst. I think that the government needs to start meeting with the people and try to resolve this problem before it gets worst. Remember many children are getting jeoperdize because of this strike.

I think the weather is off because, I don't think that the news is the greatest thing for the weather. One time they said it was going to rain, I was excited, but dissappointed. I wonder when did they decide to be the foretellers of the world. Maybe everysince they've started showing the news; now their inaccuracies are on the internet. Too bad for the people. But I say good job on the forecast on the Katrina and the hurricanes that they've warned people about in advanced, you have to give them that.

katrina support, huh. i was in hancock county, ms. when it hit. i have to say that if it were not for the private sector, things would have been alot worse than they were. the first morning after, there was no law, there was no government. it was the second day after the storm when we first saw the busses and trucks loaded down with water and supplies. not one the the supply trucks we saw in the first days were government. now it's 4 months later and there are still people living in tents. my personal experience with fema has been a complete joke. i don't want to take anything away from the people who drove hours on end to deliver the needed supplies or the thousands of people who donated their time and money to help people pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. but i am damn mad at my government. i have had to relocate to another state. the only assistance my family has gotten was the initial $2000 check from fema. past that we have been made to feel like charity cases. we are not begging. these are our tax dollars. since i have been in nc, i have paid in more taxes than i recieved from fema since this whole nightmare began. when i got to nc, so i didn't have to sleep on someones floor, i got a job to provide for my family and because i got that job, was told that i didn't qualify for any public assistance. so no, i don't consider it support, no, it wasn't soon enough, racial bias, i'm white. thanks for letting me vent. and by the way, have any of you asked yourself where all the money you gave went?........

This is an actual human translation, so it will probably be more accurate than those from online translators.\n\n\nYo escogí escribir sobre Puerto Rico porque lo me facina y quiero aprender más sobre esto país.  Escibiré sobre la gente y la religion de Puerto Rico.  Puerto Rico es un de las islas del mundo con la población mas larga, con más o menos 3.95 millones personas.  En esta isla, casi 33 por ciento de la gente viven cerca de las ciudades de San Juan, Carolina, y Bayamon.  La gente de esta isla representan una mezcla cultural y racial, y cuando los Estados Unidos lo obtenieron la isla en 1898, la influencia estadounidence adaptaba como parte de la cultura.\n\nPuertorriqueños están conocido para su hospitalidad y amabilidad a extranjeros.  Ellos están conocido la major para sus manos animados cuando están hablando.  Saludan a sus amigos y familia con un beso en la mejilla o con una combinación de un beso y un abrazo.  Puertorriqueños piensan que están americanos, pero ya están orgullosos de su isla y su cultura.  Usualmente se llaman “puertorriqueños” y no “americanos” y la familia tiene mucha importancia para ellos.\n\nEn Puerto Rico, 85 por ciento de la gente son católicos, y 8 por ciento son protestantes.  La mayoría de la gente son hispanicos.  Hay iglesias de muchos religiones en la isla.  La constitución promete libertad por todas las religiones.  La influencia de los colonos españoles ya es evidente en la predominio de la iglesia católica.  Menos de un siglo pasado, más de 90 por ciento de la población eran católicos.  En tiempos más recienta, causado por la inmigración de personas de las Estados Unidos, hay más personas que son protestantes.  Ahora casi 33 por ciento de la población son protestantes.

Well, my grandma always says the Spanish-speaking stations' news broadcasts say things about any given story that the English-speaking stations leave out. I don't know if it's because Univision knows more or if it's because they know they can make stuff up because the FCC doesn't bother with them. Either way, I'd love to know just what they're saying that Grandma finds so fascinating.

BAD TIDINGS LIBERAL PUKES: Fox just released a VIDEO OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR BLANCO TELLING FEMA/OFFICIALS THAT THE LEVEES HAD *NOT* - REPEAT *NOT* - BEEN BREACHED.\n\nNow you can go ahead and IGNORE this post or just pull it off the board quickly - but DON'T YOU ALL REALLY JUST FEEL STUPID AS HELL???\n\nBTW... I think BUSH is a TOTAL MORON - but he's still SMARTER than YOU BUNCH of "INTELLIGENCIA."\n\n********************\nstellry: By all means let me answer your question. I honestly DO believe that Bush is an IDIOT who has surrounded himself by IDIOTS. HOWEVER, I'm 56 years old, former 101st Airborne, 100% disabled Vietnam vet and a newspaper writer that spends probably three hours minimum easily EVERY day going through different sites and news services trying to compare sources and ferret out the TRUTH behind stories.\n\nNow look at the vast majority of respondents here. They TOTALLY IGNORE FACTS (Like the Blanco tape) and CHANT LIBERAL ZOMBIE-LIKE MANTRAS INSTEAD. The *TRUTH* means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to THEM. There's no sense of balance. There's no QUESTIONING the PARTY LINE. There's only LEMMING-LIKE CONFORMITY and the commonality that virtually NONE of THEM have PAID THEIR DUES in EXPERIENCE, RESEARCH NOR COMMON SENSE. \n\nIn short, they have been spoon fed PROPAGANDA by public schools and colleges to the point where they are as rabidly endoctrinated as the Hitler Youth. They are OBLIVIOUS to REALITY. When confronted with TRUTH and REALITY, they simply IGNORE IT.\n\nNow, are YOU AWARE that FEMA and the FEDS *CANNOT* ENTER A STATE UNTIL THE GOVERNOR *REQUESTS* THEM TO DO SO?\n\nIf so, WHAT does it MEAN when Governor Blanco was NOT REQUESTING FEMA ASSISTANCE and TELLING EVERYONE (ON CAMERA) that THE LEVEES were INTACT after the hurricane came ashore?\n\nI've answered YOUR question - now can you answer mine?\n*************\n\n3-4\nYou appear open minded and I'm appreciative. Honesty is the only way we come together to identify and solve problems.\n\nWhat I have asked of you is WHERE is your INDICTMENT of Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin? However guilty/incompetent/complicit Bush and his adminstration may be - both Blanco and Nagin were *EVEN MORESO*. So how can you bypass the *CAUSE* while only blaming the *EFFECT*?\n\nDon't misunderstand me. I think that FEMA and the Feds are criminally incompetent - but they COULD NOT ACT without BLANCO's REQUEST which she herself delayed because she believed the levees had held. Blanco is EVERY BIT as INCOMPETENT, DISHONEST and WORTHLESS as FEMA - and probably MORESO. So why wouldn't/shouldn't your question be:\n\n"GOVERNOR BLANCO knew what Katrina would be like and yet did nothing to help people and waited too late to request FEMA help. She even lied she didn't know about it." (?)\n\nFair enough?\n\n**************************\nBRAVO!!! THAT is *EXACTLY* what I was HOPING you would say!\n\nWhen TRUTH WINS, we ALL WIN.\n\nThank you for restoring some semblance of my faith in humanity.
