Where does he think = <st1:State><st1:place>Indiana</st1:p= lace></st1:State> corn goes after harvest?  How about the world's grain supply?  If the = port is severely damaged, large disruptions in both imports and exports = will likely result, including oil imports (the = <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>Port</st1:Plac= eType> of = <st1:PlaceName>South Louisiana</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> is the main receiving = terminal for supertankers from <st1:country-region><st1:place>Saudi = Arabia</st1:place></st1:country-region>).  I'm hoping Mr. May neither likes coffee, tea, or sugar, because he may be = drinking <st1:State><st1:place>Indiana</st1:p= lace></st1:State> tap water for breakfast soon.  I could write a book on the strategic = importance of this region (but it has already been done).  With our new = threats we are facing in our world, Mr. May is likely the one who will some day = be sitting by the roadside crying because he is not being taken care of, = not one with the intelligence and balls to see the big picture.  He will = likely one day be drooling in a nursing home with a dirty diaper while I'm = still paying taxes to keep a roof over his empty head.  I'm afraid this libertarian/classical liberal is only showing his ignorance, selfishness = and his generous donation is not needed or wanted.  His donation was = likely made only for the tax benefits, anyway.  That's what's wrong with = the direction of our great nation;  selfishness and ignorance.  In = this case, Mr. May becoming an isolationist would be a very good thing for us all.  His blanket statement about the people trapped, included = tourists from Scotland and elsewhere, babies, people in town on business, the = elderly, the innocent who really do depend on a check arriving at the beginning = of the month (Katrina hit in the last days of the month and money to get out = was often not available) etc., etc., was truly a knee jerk comment.  I don't = suppose he will forgo his own government check when the time comes (and it will come).  I hope nothing tragic like this ever happens in his life, = because he truly is... stupid.  God please Bless our great nation, because = we need it.     Lance Lafargue, RPT Classical American Living 17 ft = above sea level, but still capable of seeing beyond my own = ass<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
