George Carlin on New Orleans

I know many have said it but this is pretty much how it goes ala George Carlin.

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 tosay, 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 thehell out. Don't blame the Government after they tellyou to go. If they hadn't said anything, I can see theargument. They said get out... if you didn't, it'syour 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 andnon-perishables. If you didn't do this, it's not theGovernment's fault you're starving.

#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a storethat has some. (Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD'sare not edible. Leave them alone.)

#2b. If the local store has been looted of food orwater, leave your neighbor's TV and stereo alone. (See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Justbecause they were smart enough to leave during amandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right totake their stuff...it's theirs, not yours.

#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot atthem and then complain no one is helping you. I'm notgetting shot to help save some dumbass who didn'tleave when told to do so.

#4. If you are in your house that is completely underwater, your belongings are probably too far gone foranyone to want them. If someone does want them, letthem have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth. Just leave! (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warriorand put a curse on them!)

#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 milliondollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city thatis under sea level. You wouldn't build your house onquicksand would you? You want to live belowsea-level, do your country some good and join theNavy.

#6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps JessieJackson and Al Sharpton want you to believe, The USGovernmentdidn't create the Hurricane as a way to eradicate theblack people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as away to destroy America). The US Government didn'tcause global warming that caused the hurricane (We'vebeen coming out of an ice age for over a millionyears).

#7. The government isn't responsible for giving youanything. This is the land of the free and the homeof the brave, but you gotta work for what you want. McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, get a damnjob and stop spooning off the people who are actuallyworking for a living. President Kennedy said itbest..."Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
