I am sick and tired of minority equal right. Too bad we could not kick this hurricane in the * and send it to Mexico !!

    Hey, it's coming out of the Carribean, it's uninvited and expensive to clean up after, what do you want?

    Everything is about race nowadays...why should white people get to name all the storms!!!
    Actually, I think the next one should be hurricane Jim Bob or Elli Maye or Betty Sue!!!

    Uh, I think it started out as Ernesto before it made landfall in Florida, but now that it entered the US he prefers to be called Ernie, due to all the anti-immigration sentiment...

    Does it make anyone feel better that Katrina wasn't named Catalina?

    The number of haters on this board is what makes me sick. The US is not the center of the universe, the galaxy, the solar system, or the planet. Get over it.
