The Roof, the roof, the roof was on fire.

I can remember when I was the fireman.  I ran from disaster to disaster hoping that I could make things better.  I think that is the way I was raised.  You always went toward the person who needed help.  Those people sort of expected to be helped.  Now, I ask questions.  I don't rush to save things that are not worth saving.  I might just stand and let your house burn if I find no redeeming value in the house.  I ask how the fire started.  If you started the fire based on your own stupidity, then your house can burn.  If I will lose my house to save yours....................let it burn.
