Two of the three people that died were my cousins and I really resent you calling them stupid. They were aware of the dangers and thought they had taken the precautions needed to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. People are stealing generators all over the city of Houston and in surrounding areas and with the cost of generators, people are taking drastic meausures to make sure their generator is not stolen. I am a teacher and we have been talking about Ike and it's aftermath, and you would be surprised by the number of students who are getting by with the use of a generator. There are plenty of us who are still without power. You are entitled to your opinion, but please be mindful that you are talking about someone's children, grandchildren, nephews, neice, cousin, etc.
