evening meaningless grunt
Katrina was just another bad-ass storm and that is a plain-old-fact-of-life for folk that live on the Southern coast. Not particularly unusual, just the way nature washes things. Been living here for most of my life and the things tear the hell out of everything. If you believe in god or gaia, maybe it's their way of punishing the fleas that we be's. Obviously I think that is bullshit. Katrina was unique for a couple of reasons. 87% of New Orleans population was black. 67% depended on HHS for what appears to be all of their income. The vast majority of government and police force were elected or appointed black folk. Absolutely nothing wrong there; self-government by peers. Fed EEOC wouldn't touch that with a stick. The governor of the state was either in massive denial or she was just the usual democrat hack. No, I'm not going to bash the totally inept and stupid reaction those elected officials and their minions were responsible for, indeed, they show a shining light on "What Not To Do." The feds? My boiler with what Bush & Co. has done, well, it's pretty dim as well. His crew has screwed the pooch with the LSM PR and ineptness in general on this one. Answer this: if there was a disaster in your location would you like an airdrop of storm troopers invading YOUR neighborhood or working with the neighbors and utilities to get things working? Since I've been involved with the latter quite a few times, my answer goes w/o comment. Firstly, you need neighbors that are actually people who value common sense. Multi-gen welfare creatures and what they elect are not neighbors. Sadly, my pre-1964 automatic LBJ specials are no longer alive. All but one of their grandkids is in jail for armed robbery, with one on the 3rd conviction. They were "entitled".
*sigh*
Thankfully most of us folk in the US are pretty-much braindead about how horribly we are being ripped-off by their gumment and continue to support reasonable (and rather wonderful) organizations like the US Red Cross and the Salvation Army. If we were bright enought to see how badly we were being robbed by our "elected ones", the donations would dry up. "We gave at the W-2". Whyfo we hire these jackasses?
Aaron did a fine job with this graphic:
My house is always open for REAL folk. Those fond of crack or other dope or have scads of un-named fatherless children, the Salvation Army has room. Room for kids here, not for shitheads. Been there many times. If you've not tried it, invite the alledged distressed into your home. 14 times since 1991, robbed royally thrice, been expected to be chambermaid and chef twice, came close to slaughtering a couple of the creatures. Especially the asshole that had set up a child porn peddler site with MY ISP and MY computer. His sorry ass got booted so far out his fragments fell from Texas to California against the prevailing wind. I tracked the fragments. Boot was better than the desired .38. Not keen on jail even if it would have been judged justifiable homicide.
