You are ignoring me. Continue to do so. No take backs.

I've shifted over to just disdain.

Pick one.  You are telling me what to do and feigning disinterest at the same time.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny.

You're the one who stated you were ignoring me after your tantrum, then backed-off that. Make up your mind or can you? I am merely helping stick to your guns. Or can you even do that?

I didn't say I was going to ignore you forever.  I'd prefer if it you just tried to be honest instead of plaing with more guns.

This morning the radio news guy was interviewing someone from world vision or somesuch aid organization.  The news guy asked the aid person, "with such massive destruction where do they start to address all the need - lack of food, water, housing for the survivors etc etc.

She paused and said the first thing they do whenever the enter a disaster zone is pray.  So I turned stations to see if someone a bit more sane was being interviewed.  The other station had a Salvation Army volunteer on.   He seemed matter of fact in describing all the destruction and so I thought I had a good source.  But then when asked what his organization was doing on the ground to help the survivors he said they held a number of prayer vigils before they did anything else.

This is one of the reasons I carefully screen the aid agencies before donating to ensure they wont be spending money sending people to pray.

There have been less of them in the last couple years. Like a little over half the normal number. I guess they're saving it all up to blow all at once.
:huh: We had a really, really bad tornado year in 2011.

Yeah weird, though it fits right in with the Oklahoma governors' policy toward disasters:

OKLAHOMA CITY – In light of the sustained drought, Governor Mary Fallin today asked all Oklahomans to set aside time this Sunday, July 17, to pray for rain.
......
"I encourage Oklahomans of all faiths to join me this Sunday in offering their prayers for rain," Fallin said. "For the safety of our firefighters and our communities and the well-being of our crops and livestock, this state needs the current drought to come to an end. The power of prayer is a wonderful thing, and I would ask every Oklahoman to look to a greater power this weekend and ask for rain."

Secretary of Agriculture Jim Reese said he appreciated the governor's call for prayer and would be saying his own this Sunday.

"Farmers across the state are really suffering under these conditions," said Reese. "I'm glad the governor is issuing this call to prayer, and I hope it helps deliver the rain we need soon."

"Oklahoma City has rebounded. It has rebuilt. Oklahoma people are very strong, and they will make it through this, but we're going to need a lot of prayer and a lot of support to get back on our feet."

You know the Salvation Army is a church right?  Prayer is kinda their thing.

I understand that both of the Oklahoma senators voted against Hurricane Katrina aid. I wonder if they think Oklahoma will need federal aid now.
