Mrs. Barbara Bush, after touring the Astrodome complex in Houston on Monday, said: "What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."
Well, this sent the national liberal faction, media included, into a frenzy of Katrinal proportion.Many still find it politically incorrect for some to express that which most, even the folks in question, find as obvious.
A comment similar to Mrs Bush's would have been appropriate in the Alabama "Wiregrass" in the early 1900's in addressing the dire circumstances of thousands of cotton farmers whose crops were wiped out by the boll weevil, leaving them totally destitute and on the verge of starvation, only to become forced to grow the lowly peanut. Well, this too became an unforseen Godsend to the underpriviledged which eventually provided them a much better standard of living than did cotton.
