7. I thought this was supposed to be the plan

only for the folks in the Astrodome; for that, western union would have worked.

WU would have worked for anyone being re-located b/c u can set it up for pickup in any city (i think).

My suspicion is that there reasoning was the same for not sending food: geez you send all that food to all "those people" -- shit, they'll start riots, they'll kill for it.

As if 2K were somehow a lot of money, especially under those circumstances. It's like NOTHING, but sure would have done a lot of good here.,

2. We've been scratching our heads over that one as well.

The planning that went into this is unbelieveable!:eyes:

4. That is just another episode in the serial of

The Gang that couldn't Shoot Straight.

5. Do you know how hard it is

to GET a bank account today? A couple of bounced checks and you are blacklisted forever.

6. they are prepaid

from another account.
Think in terms of a gift card.
That's what these are...only with cash.
