I am disgusted by the news in our local paper today. I am including a link so you can read about what I am talking about. For you Extremem Home Makeover Fans, you will want to read this. I have responded to the timesunion.com blog comments and here is my response to what readers have said. I can say I am thoroughly disgusted with people here in the capital region

"I cannot believe the nonsense everyone has said about this woman. I do not know Debbie or her boys or anyone who associates with them, but KUDOS to her for taking in those boys when she did. Had she not, they probably would have been dead. And to reiterate what alot of people have said on here already, Those who have not sinned should cast the first stone. I am sure that no one could cast that stone.
This woman took in these boys when AIDS was the most feared disease ever. I picture her life has been like Ryan White. Remember that movie, and how he was treated. I know that if I had to live that life, I would have tough skin too. I would not care what people have to say about me and live my life. I think the point was well made that this is for the kids.
If anyone of of you think that there are other people in need, please go out and help them. Create your volunteer organization, or join Habitat for Humanity or any of the other hundreds of organizations we have in the capital district to help those in need. I am sure that her neighbors did not have a hard time rejecting the check they received from the show. Did any of you possibly DONATE that money to any charitable organizations. Forget it I already know what the response is… "That was payment for the pain and suffering I had staying in hotel for five days, I was misplaced from my home" Ridiculous, all of you are.

Why don't any of you go adopt a child, not even a child with HIV, just adopt a child, not even a minority child, just a child. Oh and then raise those children on a $50,000 salary. I have 2 boys of my own 14 and 7 and I can tell you my 14 year old alone eats me out of house and home, I could not imagine having 4 that are like that. If it is money making scheme, then let me say that Debbie is not smart, because there are definitely many other ways she could have schemed the government.

Debbie, I want to say congratulations to you on your new house. I am sure you are loving it, and I am to admit that I am jealous. I would love to have a house built for me as beautiful as yours. Don't let your neighbors discourage you. Hold your head up high girl! You deserve everything you get! And remember that saying what goes around comes around 3 times more. You have given and now you have received 3 times more."
