Hurricane/ Superstorm Sandy. Young realize of course [View all]

Most of the media pictures are of the beachfront properties.......all owned by millionaires. Where are the pictures and commentary about the citizens living a mile back that were devastated? You won't see a lot of them. Oh sure, there have been some pictures, but not a lot.

To be fair, my cousins lived that mile back. On slightly higher ground, no less, but their homes were destroyed. And 67 Repugs voted against the relief for these hard working people??????

Well fuck them. I have no sympathy for the beach front property owners whose property is probably a second property .......not eligible for most types of insurance. They can afford to rebuild. Can't say that for the thousands living just a couple of thousand yards off the beach.

Rant over
