Here's George Carlins take on this....
Subject:* George Carlin on New Orleans

> **Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the
> bullshit going on in New Orleans. For the people of New Orleans... First we
> would like to say, Sorry for your loss. With that said, Let's go through a
> few hurricane rules: (Unlike an earthquake, we know it's
> coming.) **
>
> **#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the hell out. ** **Don't
> blame the Government after they tell you to go. If they hadn't said
> anything, I can see the argument. They said get out... if you didn't, it's
> your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a
> car, you can get out.) **
>
> **#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables.
> If you didn't do this, it's not the Government's fault you're starving.
> **
>
> **#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some.
> (Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them
> alone.) **
>
> **#2b. If the local store has been looted of food or water, leave your
> neighbor's TV and stereo alone. (See #2a.) They worked hard to get their
> stuff. Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory
> evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff...it's theirs,
> not yours. **
>
> **#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain
> no one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some dumbass who
> didn't leave when told to do so. **
>
> **#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your
> belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone
> does want them, let them have them and, hopefully, they'll die in the filth.
> Just leave! (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on
> them.) **
>
> **#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a
> sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to
> rebuild a city that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on
> quicksand would you? You want to live below sea-level, do your country some
> good and join the Navy. **
>
> **#6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton
> want you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way
> to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way
> to destroy America). The US Government didn't cause global warming that
> caused the hurricane. (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a
> million years.) **
>
> **#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is the
> land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta work for what you
> want. McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, get a damn job and stop
> spooning off the people who are actually working for a living.
> President Kennedy said it best..."Ask not what your country can do for you,
> ask what you can do for your country." **
>
> **Thank you for allowing me to rant.***
