You know what I find amazing. It's been 2 years since Katrina and we STILL hear nothing but whining and complaining from the "victims" who are doing nothing to better their own lives, but expect the rest of the world to do it for them.
I'll be perfectly honest here. I have NO sympathy for those people at all. What sympathy I had quickly ran out when I went down there 3 days after the storm to help out. I stayed down there for over a month with the Coast Guard helping set up emergancy communication sites for FEMA. Everyday while I was there all I heard from those people was them asking when they were going to get their free handouts. I can't count the times we had people coming to the FEMA sites asking how they were going to get their wellfare checks and food stamps.
My cousin has been down there on and off for the last year or so doing construction work. He lives in South Dakota. He's going down there and getting work no problem. Why??? Because the construction companies can't get enough people to work. Why??? Because those people that are down there don't want to work and rebuild their lives, they want a handout. There are plenty of jobs to be had down there but if they go to work they loose their wellfare checks.
Screw those people. They did nothing to try and help themselves before the storm hit. They were real quick to take anything not bolted down after the storm though weren't they??
I've talked to some of the flight crews that were down there rescuing people from their homes and heard time and again how people they had just pulled to safety were complaining because the crews wouldn't let them take stuff from their homes. I had one guy tell me a lady was refusing to get in the helo unless they took her TV first. What the hell kind of thing is that?
All those people want to do is point a finger at someone....anyone, as long as it gets them something for free. And when they do get something for free all they want to do is complain some more because they want something better for free.
Those folks are taking NO personal responsibility for themselves and their well being.
I performed my humanitarian duties during that disaster and never...not once...did I hear a thank you from any of those people. All I heard was a bunch of complaints. Why weren't you here sooner? Why didn't you help us before the storm? Where am I going to live now? How do I get my wellfare check? Never mind that I volunteered to go there to help and left my family for a month to do it.
Screw em.....I don't owe those people a damn thing.
