Comments on: Time to Spend That Volcano Monitoring Money! http://redgreenandblue.org/2009/04/12/time-to-spend-that-volcano-monitoring-money/ Patriotism that loves our country, our land, and our planet Wed, 23 May 2012 01:08:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: mfrank654 http://redgreenandblue.org/2009/04/12/time-to-spend-that-volcano-monitoring-money/comment-page-1/#comment-50167 mfrank654 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:25:29 +0000 http://redgreenandblue.org/?p=2933#comment-50167 help one person or help prevent millions from a disaster...? I was having trouble paying my bills after I lost my job, so you know what I did? I applied for shitty jobs, and I'm a pizza delivery person now. I have a four year degree and experience in my field, and applying to Dominos was a new low for me. But I'm paying my bills again, and not begging the government for handouts. And yes, this is change. The last admin didn't seem to care about prevention or early warnings for natural disasters...or proper aid after the disaster. help one person or help prevent millions from a disaster…?

Let me rephrase that, you are a short sighted idiot. The money spent on any disaster prevention research is ALWAYS well spent; while natural disasters don't often occur- tornados, tsunamis, quakes, asteroid strikes,or any other natural catastrophes, you definitely want to be aware if its going to happen, and spending 15 million out 800 BILLION is never too much to save lives. You demand relief for a friend, which is not wrong but you can't recognize there other worthwhile life saving projects. And if you reply that lets spend that other money NOW, on welfare benefits to needy individuals what are you going to do when a tsunami washes over them (no warning given because they was no money for an early detection system) We are living in bad times but its still no excuse for being shortsighted. to sierrasam,

I have a friend, a veteran, who is having trouble paying his mortgage because he lost his job. The government WON'T give him any help because his house was purchased with a VA loan, but the government gives itseslf 140 million to study volcanos! This is "Change?!" This is amazing!
