I am not a victim - I am a SURVIVOR
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 11:06 AM by merh
And I do not like the title of this group. "DU Hurricane Victims Group" should read "DU Hurricane Survivor Group"

I am a victim of government red tape and incompetency and corporate greed, but I am not a victim of Katrina, I am one of her survivors.

Survivor works much better, working and working in a postive manner rather than focusing on being victimized. Edited to add, I just emailed Skinner and asked. Thanks merh for bringing this up. peace
