Watching the Missouri River above flood stage the past three weeks and witnessing mass chaos, extreme paranoia, and many, many different versions of just what the truth is regarding the 'potential flood', I have come to one conclusion and one conclusion only. People love DRAMA and love to keep stories going and add their own interpretation to the real facts to the point not a soul knows and understands what is really going on at this particular moment in time. It's really annoying to hear 60 different versions of the same story line, but all we can do is watch and wait as the 'higher ups' make the continual decisions to release more and more water until there is no room for it to go but into towns and innocent people's lives. What gives them the right to determine if my family and friends are to lose their homes? What gives them the right to use scare tactics and/or keep the truth quiet? What gives them the right to play GOD - as this particular flood isn't an act of GOD, but an act of willpower and coercion. Just my opinion, but hey, I am guaranteed freedom of speech like the next guy - besides that, nobody reads my blog so I am pretty safe with my own thoughts. Still, I choose to look up to the Heaven's, smile at God and say 'thank you' that everyone I know is safe and well...

I heard FEMA won't help out with the flooding because it's a man made disaster and not a natural one. Whatever happened to doing what's right instead of what's the cheapest?
