Spoken like a true Yankee ... so the rest aren't "people"?
As for "Sandy" ... I will show the same amount of concern and respect that was demonstrated by the "Northeasterners" to Galveston, Texas, and Bolivar after Ike hit.

And what was your point about Galveston and Bolivar? I remember plenty of sympathy expressed from across the country after Ike hit, including the northeast. It was all over national news. And the rest of the county, incluind ghte northeast helped pay for the rebuild.
Stop trying to play the "victim" when you aren't. That is supposed to be a left wing trick.
