>GEORGE CARLIN ON NEW ORLEANS
>This pretty much sums it all up:
>
>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, bu! t 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.
