Joplin Missouri took it on the chin in a very terrible way yesterday. The last that I heard eighty-nine people were killed, and that number is expected to rise. For the other drivers out there; We received notice that the Flying J got hammered. I hope and pray that everyone there is safe. Those are some of the best folks at any truck stop anywhere and go the extra mile to make a worn out driver feel welcome.
My prayers are with you this day.

I agree – unfortunately the death toll is over 100 now & they are now blaming ‘globalwarming’ for this & other events!! Can’t even mourn for these people without it being politicized.

Help and prayers are on the way – but cannot undo the horrendous damage inflicted.

So true Pops, and Maine is on target as usual. But, the people that live there are tough and resilient folks. My family settled near there well before the nation was formed, and are still there. They are no different than the others there, and Joplin will rebuild. Bigger, and better than ever!

Where can conservative libertarians donate money to help victims without letting government take credit?

The Mo. Libertarian Party has a project going on according to the radio the other night. Do a web search, it said they had one set up to help. Volunteers were also called for.
