Thank utility crews, don't insult them

I've heard of folks being abusive towards the power linemen - people working 24/7 to return power back to the homes that lost it during the hurricane. The same ones risking their lives so folks can utilize this wonderful thing called electricity once again.

Seriously?

My disappointment towards those (excuse my language) idiotic derelicts, is overwhelming. To each and every lineman, including those traveling in from other states, you have my utmost respect and appreciation for all the work you are doing. The amount of homes and businesses you have returned power to is amazing. Keep up the awesome job you are all doing. God bless.
