Pointing fingers and placing blame does and will no no good

That being said, why does everyone cry to the "government" to help them? What happened to self reliance? Sorry there will be a little Darwinism along the way, not pretty but that's life ....... and death (want to debate this point, read Buff's Blog)

Also this has been the worst crisis management ever, from President Bush (who started an "oil shortage" by announcing we will have one without having a credible plan in place) to local New Orleans politicians (one local congressman was procuring buses to evac Xavier students and then announced we will take other passengers on a first come first serve basis ... WRONG you take medical emergencies first, then the elderly, then children and then mothers. If your a healthy male you just have to wait)

What amazes me the most (well maybe not) is how the citizens of New Orleans have acted (and these were not typical of the New Orleans citizens I've come to know) who immediately went to law of the jungle instead of helping each other.

Compare the hands then went out during 9/11 to the guns that went up in the aftermath of Katerina

WTF, sorry you can't eat that TV you just looted, there is no electricity for about 90 miles and I don't think anyone is buying it.
Procuring food and water is fine, bring it on and I'll help, you have to live

from some of the things I've seen I think my wallet is closed for relief aid and that makes me sad, wish it wasn't that way


Oh yeah and I see the rest of the world rushing to help the USA
But I can't blame them too much after what I've seen but still
FUCK EVERYONE THE USA HAS HELPED OVER THE YEARS
One of the things that bothers me about humans is how gratitude has a short shelf life
