It's the combination of elitist arrogance and callous disregard Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 09/06/2010 07:03:52 PM
Everyone is guilty of these things at one time or another, but seeing the cavalier attitude of someone who by her own admission has never lived outside an urban area is just enraging. It's kinda like the financial crisis my foot. This is "kinda like" New York City losing electricity for a decade.

EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, when I compare the situation to NYC losing power for 10 years, I'm talking about the disaster in terms of how it affects the employment of people in the area, not in its overall effect.
