[Vision2020] Lack of Compassion

Tue Sep 6 23:00:13 PDT 2005

I am not defending Pat Kraut's position because I do
not agree with it. However, I think all of you that
are attacking her for lacking compassion are wrong.

I lived next to Pat Kraut for 1 1/2 years and still
live near her. I know that she spends a lot more of
her time helping people than the lot of you combined
making accusations against her. 

Pat does not brag about how sorry she feels about
other people, she actually does something to help
them. 

If you do not agree with her thinking, that is fine.
But all of you that do not do crap but gripe and say
how sorry you feel for someone while accusing those
that actually do something for people or lacking
compassion are just the town gossip hypocrites that do
not know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Saying you pity people in N.O. MORE THAN SOMEONE ELSE
on Vision 2020 does nothing to help them, it is
clearly done just to make yourself feel better about
yourself.
