Putting aside the normal levels of human compassion and decency that "everyone" possesses, there is ONE THING that Democrats and Republicans alike are getting a very clear view about:

THAT COULD BE ME!!!

*YOU* could be the one sitting on a roof under the sweltering sun for SIX DAYS with no food, no water, and NO HELP.

Well, that and the gas prices.
