Actualy if you look under Village idiot you will find me. I'm a old man whos been kicked a few times myself. Ben to the Nam, volenteer fireman close to 30 years and on the EMS crew for 30 as well. I volenteer to drive the Disabled Veterans Van whenever. I spent the last week and a half working the floods. Tired and angry perhaps at our government most of the time as to what gets money and what don't.
I helped in Parkersberg, and told those folks that FEMA probably was intended for good things, but they are part of the governmment so away we go. It's just sad that they all think that they are ok because of FEMA, and must learn the painfull truth in most cases.

Perhaps I have a bad habit of observing how helpfull some are, and yet there are those that well maybe don't help others so much.

But don't kid yourself for one moment we have a few Iowans that cop a atter towed about helping others. A person can't help but wonder about what goes around can come around.
