    Sung by Jesse Colin Young of the Youngbloods.

    How about this one by the Hollies:
    The road is long
    With many a winding turns
    That leads us to who knows where,
    Who knows where.
    But I\’m strong,
    Strong enough to carry him.
    He ain\’t heavy, he\’s my brother.

    So on we go.
    His welfare is of my concern.
    No burden is he to bear,
    We\’ll get there.
    For I know
    We would not encumber me.
    He ain\’t heavy, he\’s my brother.

    If I\’m laden at all,
    I\’m laden with sadness
    That everyone\’s heart
    Isn\’t filled with the gladness
    Of love for one another.

    It\’s a long, long road
    From which there is no return.
    While we\’re on the way to there,
    Why not share?
    And the load
    Doesn\’t weigh me down at all.
    He ain\’t heavy, he\’s my brother.

    He\’s my brother.
    He ain\’t heavy, he\’s my brother…

    State Farm must be a real nice company to pay millions out that they don\’t owe. We need more nice companies in America. I read my homeowners policy and it excludes flooding, storm surge, wind and hail. We need more good trial lawyers in America too. Isn\’t it a great time to be alive in America. Senate and House back with the Democrats will impeach evil Bush soon maybe. Insurance companies paying excluded coverage, war in Iraq going Democrats way as well, and of course don\’t forget the invention of the internet.

    Why are they allowing this Special 600 and 1 Lawyer to share in $50 Million.

    If you live in a box, & lost the box,

    it is still loosing your home.

    That is the same feeling that everyone felt wheather they had a palace or a box.
    Your home is your castle.

    Is it fair that 600 people get to cut up 50 million with the lawyer?

    35,000 Homeowners, also lost their homes.

    Why does a Special 600 get special

    treatment but 35,000 are treated

    \”less than\” ?

    It might not be a bad idea for the Feds and/or states to develop a government-organized coastal product that would include the perils of wind and flood, open to all within 100 miles of coastal waters.

    Imagine having a cat peril policy where there are no huge squabbles over who pays! Imagine policy holders who are paid based upon the actual damages, without losing valuable rebuild dollars to hoardes of ambulance chasers seeking their 30%+. Imagine insurance companies coming back to the coast, eager to write business. Imagine non-coastal citizens not having to help foot the bill for those who choose to live in (or who live in my circumstance) coastal or low-lying areas.

    Living in an area that is subject to the occassional hurricane, as well as seasonal flooding, I would be most eager to purchase such a product just for my peace of mind.

    Yes, it\’s all a fantasy. It would be too hard for the government to simplify cat coverage. They don\’t want to be in the insurance business (even though they already are via NFIP and countless judicial hours spent on fighting over wind vs water), and they certainly wouldn\’t want to take food out of the mouths of the likes of Scruggs and his cronies.

    Oh well – when my hurricane comes and takes my house and floods my community, I guess I\’ll be screwed too.

    Make No Mistake…
    We will have more like Katrina.

    No matter where you live,

    You must notice all of the Natural

    Disasters & the crazy weather…..

    Could this be a hint from God?

    I think he is trying to tell us something.

    He can see all deals in the lobby or behind closed doors.
    If there is a God, We are all his children.

    The song is appropriate…if only people would do what is right?

    You are so right Kim. I am a doctore and have been momitering this website for years waiting for someone else to recognize this very point you are making. We are the children of God that was Jesus\’s message all along. WE DO NOT NEED INSUDRANCE WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES WE DONT NEED GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE ANYTHING BUT PROTECTION ANYTHING ELSE IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF GOVERNMENT THEY CAN ONLY MAKE MATTERS WORSE. THEY ARE HELPING US TO DEATH. IMAGINE IF THESE PEOPLE HAD THE INCOME TAX AND INSURANCE MONIES THEY HAVE SURRENDERED IN THE NAME OF HEALTH CARE AND HOME OWNERES INSURANCE AND HAD INSTEAD PAID HALF OF THAT MONEY DIRECTLY TO THEIR HOSPITALS, DOCTORS, DENTISTS, AND CONTRACTORS. WOULDN\’T YOU THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE BETTER OFF TODAY. THE CONTRACTORS THAT I KNOW FROM NEW ORLEANS HAVE THEIR HOMES UP AND RUNNING AND ARE FIXING OTHER HOMES NOW. THATS ALL YOU NEED A CONTRACTOR NOT AN INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY THE CONTRACTOR FOR YOU, PAY HIM YOUR DAMN SELF!!! STOP ACTING LIKE SHEEP AND BECOME MEN ONCE AGAIN, FREE MEN. STAND UP TOGETHER FOR EACH OTHER OR DIE. message from GOD.
