Jack's and Oak's comments have been most reasonable. And regarding those
anti-gov people, keep in mind that, during this state of emergency for a
storm that forecast well in advance, guv chris christie and Lieutenant
Governor Kim Guadagno are MIA. The guv who has made a name for himself by
scapegoating government employees is at Disney World. The lieutenant governor
who
is supposed to be in charge when he is absent is in Mexico.

It's amazing to me that so many people these days are anti-government, but
when it doesn't work for them personally, it's the first thing they blame
for their troubles.
If you aren't happy, run for city office and try and make a difference. I
think about it all the time. Maybe it's an eye opening experience about the
reality of our city. Maybe not. But honestly, the amount of bitching about
this snowstorm is ridiculous. It will be past history in a few days. Not
life changing for a vast majority of us. If anything, it should be life
changing in the way that it should teach each and every one of us to be
prepared. If you have plenty of food and water, then unless it's life or death
you
should stay home, not drive, and let the streets be cleaned ASAP.
But no, people don't prepare, they try and drive, get stuck, and block
progress. Right now, there's a taxi stuck on Main St. in AP, right in the
middle of the street, for at least the past 12 hours. Who's fault is that?
Sometimes, people just need to be patient and stay home. Yes, your job
might not be happy with that, but realistically speaking, what's more
important, your job, your safety, or being part of a bigger picture where
people
think about "we" instead of "me"?
