As The Bowels Move

I know, I’m a dick.

I know, the tornadoes in Oklahoma are awful.

I’m from New York. Where Sandy tore through. In October.

I have friends who are cooking in their bathrooms, because they can’t access the ground floors of their homes, still.

I have friends who didn’t have heat throughout the whole, really cold, Winter we just had.

I have friends who just got, and I mean in the last two weeks, just got running fucking water back.

I know what happened in Oklahoma was awful.

I also know, some politicians, some with power, some from the area affected by these horrible storms in Oklahoma, have wondered whether or not people who live on the coast, where hurricanes are common, should be helped by the government because they took the risk by living near the shore.

I also know that there hasn’t been this much damage from a hurricane in this area in 100 years.

I also know that there have been numerous, equally destructive tornadoes in the same area over the last decade.

I know what happened in Oklahoma was awful.

I wonder if the same politicians will wonder if the people affected by these horrible tornadoes should be helped by their government, or suffer the consequences of living in the area of the globe where 95% of all tornadoes happen.

I wonder if any politician from the areas affected by Sandy will try to deny these tornado victims aide. They would lose my vote.

I know I’m a horrible clod.

And I know what happened in Oklahoma was awful.
