Sandbags are not the answer to flooding but until a long term solution is in place to prevent floods, sandbags are a reasonable response to the immediate problem of water threatening your property.liberalwithagun wrote:Here comes the liberal in me: Shooting people is not the answer, finding the root of the problem is the solution;
I know it's popular to blame poverty for crime, but many of our grandparents had less material possessions and worse housing conditions than the poor in the USA today. I think the real cause of the problem is a society that condones criminality and parasitism as "lifestyle choices" instead of social rot. If a family can come to the USA with little more than the clothes on their backs and speaking little to no English, and become solidly middle class in less than a generation, that tells me poverty is a product of culture and lifestyle, not lack of opportunity.
