I love this show. I really do. But the one this last week for the Drumm family had something wrong with it.

For those who didn’t see it. The Drumm family had one Autistic child, and one with Aspergers. They were so poor that they lived in a house that used to be a dump site, and had to sell their car to buy food. Despite all this, they gave endlessly to the community around them. So, in comes EMHE and with the help of several hundred volunteers and around 4000 on-lookers, they gave them a beautiful and yet affordable home.

Here is the rub for me. This has been going on for YEARS. The “community that loves them so much” stood by and did NOTHING all that time. If each of those “loving community members” would have given $100 to the Drumm family, they would have had $400,000 to get out of the hole they were in. But no… they just kept taking from people who had nothing. EMHE showed up and suddenly all the “love” of the community showed itself. If EMHE wouldn’t have come, that “loving” community would still be sitting on its hands doing nothing for the very needy and deserving Drumm family.

That pisses me off.
