George Carlin on new orleans

This pretty much says it:

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, 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.
