People on other hand can do great things when encouraged, trained and supported, just as many of us have been. We can live without animals, not so much without each other.

Jetblue brought a bunch (16 I think) airplanes to FLL and MCO to evacuate just crews and their families positive space. Yes we cancelled flights like everyone else. But I think they are handling this storm very well

Before you go writing me off as a miserable cynic, I'll let you know I'm a happy person around those few people I consider awesome human beings - those people who I call my friends, and my lovely wife of 30 years, an animal lover to the core. I also LOVE every moment of my time with my dogs. My dogs prove to me continuously that there is good in this world, even if it generally doesn't emanate from humans, or even despite us humans.
