Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the
bull**** going on in New Orleans.

For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for
your loss.

With that said, Lets 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 governments 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 is too 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! (For Pete's sakes, 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 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 Walmart 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.
