As the rescue efforts and efforts to aid those endangered and stranded by the hurricane disaster in Texas brings out the best in those people who do that, it is bringing out the worst and stupidest of people who sit in front of their computers and, in too many cases, microphones on TV and the radio. I don't want to dwell on them too much but I will say that it was seeing that kind of stupidity and cruelty over the 2013 Tornados in Oklahoma took off my blinders about some of the less attractive features of too much of the the so-called left.  Regional snobbery was part of it, as was ignorance of people who don't know the territory.  There is just something about the anonymity of internet commentary that allows the inner a-hole to come out.  I don't think it's a good thing. 

But there will be a time for going over that.  For now what's important is for the people who do something for others to be supported by those of us who, for reasons of geography or incompetence or inability, aren't and who should never forget that we aren't.
