Listening to the local news... the "Center for People in Need" along with the fire dept. are going around to all of the mobile homes in Lincoln (door-to-door) giving out smoke detectors. According to them, mobile homes are twice as likely to have fires and because the fires spread quicker, they are more likely to be injured in a fire.

I know that if I lived in a mobile home, I'd be damn offended if some group of do-gooders assumed that because I live in a mobile home I either don't have the sense to buy a smoke detector, or that I am too poor to afford one. I don't care who you are, that's a horrible assumption to make. It reeks of elitism.
