No ones calling them evil but there is also very limited sympathy for those who choose to do something stupid.

There is no "guy in my example" but there are a lot of old people in Houston that do not have two or three vehicles to choose from as their escape vehicle. I guess they are all "Stupid".

I ran a construction company with one hundred employees. Getting them all headed in the same direction was challenging, to say the least. For those who have never managed anything, three million people would be totally ridiculous. It is easy to get the mobile folks with a full tank of gas out of town. Are you suggesting that they leave the rest behind to fend for themselves because they are "stupid"? Not the way that I would do it. Everyone is looking for an easy answer and someone to blame. When we get a rain that only happens every five hundred years, there is no easy answer. A little compassion would help.

Snip from your prior post: but how about the confused 93 year old World War II Vet who couldn't decide whether to take his Cadillac or his Lincoln?

Sure sounds like you had a guy in an example?

No one is saying there are zero people without cars just that it's a very small portion of the population. Get those with transportation to help themselves and it becomes a much more manageable problem to help the remainder.

Compassion is nice until they need a smack up side the head to get them to do the right thing. Telling people it's OK when they do stupid things only encourages them to do stupid things.
