Ok, WOW

So yeah, I live in Arizona, and we are burning up around here lately.  People are losing there homes and possessions, they are being forced to flee multiple fires across the state, some that have only burned for days and others that are going on or over a month, some are slow moving and others are going at super speed.  They are not currently effecting me and mine, other than some hazy days around my town, but I am keeping an eye on them, what Arizonian wouldn't.  I have family that has had to evacuate, and places I go to play and relax, places that my family and I frequent are caught in the middle.  But what do I see when I go to the news sites, comments on illegal immigration, hateful posts about God, the state Governor, and those people that have or may still lose almost everything they have worked hard for.  What the HELL is wrong with people now a days.  Since when did a freaking fire have anything to do with what political party the state is.  It is stupid.  The other thing that is really annoying is that these comments are mostly being made by people who do not understand the issues.  I mean seriously, unless you have lived with illegal immigration as part of your daily life it is not something that you can think about in a non abstract way, Hell even people in Tucson and Phoenix do not fully understand what it is like to live in a small town on or close to the border where people, lots of times armed and dangerous people come through your yards and break into your homes.  How is it that someone who has never spent time living with an issue get so bent out of shape about it.  I challenge these people, the ones who want us to throw our borders wide open and let anyone and everyone through to live on the border for just one month, rent a ranch, and see how safe you and your family feel, see how much you enjoy not being able to go outside at night because your home is in the middle of the current drug route and you have a high possibility of getting shot if they see you...  I have no problem what so ever with the people who want to come over here and work and support there families.  People have been doing that for years, and for years it worked just fine, I have a problem with the drugs and gangs and criminals that come over now as well, the cartels, the things that people who do not live here just do not understand.  So really people keep your mouth shut unless you have a valid point to make, one that is based on your own experiences, not what someone else told you.  Next, why is it that God gets blamed for anything that goes wrong, that is just stupid, especially coming from someone who supposedly does not even believe in God.  I mean, if you do not believe in him then why is he is the first thing you think to blame when something does not go your way.  Hello people, use your bloody head before you open your big mouth. 

Anyways, my point in all of this was that a wildfire should not be a political soapbox, who is to blame for it, the person who set it, or let there campfire get out of control.  Not God, not the Governor, or even the President, just the stupid person who should not have played with matches in AZ.  Instead of blaming all the wrong people or using this as another way to spread the HATE, why not just send good thoughts to the people that are being affected by this whole disaster in a very real and personal sense, it certainly can't make anything worse, and gosh it may even mean that you are a good person rather than the hatemongers that you let the world see...
