if people wait for the government to bail them out of all lifes missery, then they deserve a life of missery.
the government should do what it can, but it can't do it all. And the citizens have a RESPONSIBILITY TO ALL OF US to mitigate the damage to themselves in whatever way possible.
If your house is burning and you have a hose at your disposal...Don't look to us to pay for your house because you were to lazy to use the hose.
too many people in New Orleans are using this disaster as a convienent way of bailing themselves out of their own foolish irresponsibility.
They will never be made whole. Nor should they. yet they demand that the world stop and not only make them whole, but make them more than whole.
I for one am sick and tired of this welfare-because-I-deserve-it mentality.
Get your own butt off the dole, or else don't complain to me that the dole isn't enough for you.
