Why concentrate on the Peruvians when we can't even properly help the
Katrina victims?

Who is "We?"
There are other countries outside "America", gringo!
"WASHINGTON (AFP) - Two-thirds of US adults admit to being in the dark
about political issues outside the United States, and only a third are
well-versed in US politics, the results of a poll published Tuesday
showed."
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/latestnews/index.php?id=10151
Oh the irony:
"Used as a disparaging term for a foreigner in Latin America,
especially an American or English person. "

Nobody gives a shit about a bunch of lazy, useless porch monkeys with
a mayor that doesn't want any "vanilla help". "No problem chocolate
drop". I'll give my support to the "Americans that were raped and
pillaged by the European thieves". Blackfeet, Apache, Navajo,
Choctaw, et al. They are the ones that need help FIRST AND FORMOST.

Why is that?
Well basically it is the distance between the continents. There was
enough time lapse in crossing borders in times past to allow various
different cultures to develop.
After that, in order for similar cultures to defend themselves from
others, they tended to club together under a national cause and
establish themselves as a country.
When enough of these closed cultures formed so that they could
themselves bunch together to make their dissolution almost impossible,
they tended to remain in existence long after everyone who was anyone
moved to the Americas. |

Roger,
I think you may need to ask Mr. Bush about that. FEMA didn't deliver
their normal checks with the Katrina victims. It was truly outside
the norm of their operation to send checks every two weeks and only
give the victims two weeks notice they were being cut off and some had
just relocated to new cities. No doubt a federal investigation is in
order, but that would probably cost more than it would to take care of
the victims. Short sheeted I think would be an appropriate assessment
of the handling of the situation. Shameful.
Is there an agency providing help to the Katrina victims now?
The displaced in Peru are now at 176,000 and they are moving 40% of
them to other cities and they do need our help. The good news is that
a dollar there goes a lot further than here, but we can only do what
we can do.

Nice to see you back here Pet.
But it Peruvians not Pervs.
Hi Michael,
After the Folkstone earthquake did they have any relief organizations
helping those people? They had considerable damages to homes and
automobiles and only from a M:4.3 earthquake.

I'd have placed it more in the category of Limey and Negro myself.
Interesting that it might get a resurgence as a protlogism or
neologism that is, as with the dawn of enlightenment some new word

Better grab it fast, the host of alternatives readily lend themselves
to unfortunate misspelling. |

Well, anything has to beat "Native Americans"... and all us European
mutts aren't 'native' to this place? Never quite understood that
distinction: if your forebears came before 1400, you are a native, if
after 1400, you are still a European (even if your actual lineage is a
bunch of human geographical stew.) |

What tickled me was the definitions given in quasi learned tomes where
the word American is used to describe USAnians. It's a lost cause
isn't it? And even if it wasn't, gringo doesn't quite cut it.
How about Impervians? Or does that connote Imperial and Dense? |

No. British help grinds slow but it turns out to be just as effective
as Fema.
It Portsmouth bought it it would get help but if Portsmouth bought
such a thing they'd have bought the farm. Like Gibraltar it is riddled
with tunnels packed with ordnance.
Folkstone is just a gateway to France or Belgium. Not much call for
help from a cellar full of wine or cheese.
We have bigger problems from flooding and poor animal hygiene on
farms. All our major waterways are either constrained to bursting
point or have been converted to sewers.
Most other slow quaking stuff is from abandoned mines and clay
slumping. |

Michael,
The news article I have about the event said there was 5 million
pounds in damages. Are you saying there was assistance, no
assistance, or you're unsure?

I don't remember it. Most local town councils run their own help
services linked to the fire and ambulance departments.
If uninsured people are stuck without family to help, they can get
social services to house them and whatever.Most property owners here
are locked into a chain or a cycle of buying bigger and better
property that means they will always have a mortgage to pay and that
would require insurance.
