George Carlin on New Orleans:
>
> Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the
> BS going on in New Orleans. For the people of New Orleans:
> First I 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. (I 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
> dumb ass 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.
