George Carlin on Hurricane Katrina in N O.






I must say, this makes a lot of sense....wish they would publish this on
signs in New Orleans...



George Carlin on Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans

"Well, for me this pretty much sums it all up:

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. You have feet; you have a thumb; and
there were buses that came and no one rode out - Duh! Doesn't take a
brain surgeon to figure this one out.)

#2. If there is an emergency and you plan not to evacuate, stock up on
water and non-perishables (and rubber rafts). If you didn't do this,
it's not the Government's fault you're starving and wet.

#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.



#2c. If you're one of those negligent humans who subjected their
children to this disaster by staying in New Orleans, putting what you
wanted to do before their safety, then you need to be prosecuted for
endangering their lives. If you are a person who stole non-edible items
in front of your children then you should be prosecuted for contributing
to the delinquency of minors. And if your child was hurt, became ill
due to the conditions or died during this disaster, then you should be
executed.

#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, so that
reason for staying put doesn't hold much water (pardon the pun). If
someone does want them, let t hem have them and hopefully they'll die in
the filth. Just leave! (It's New Orleans, for Christ's sake - 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 Walmart are always hiring, get a damn job
and stop sponging 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."



#8. This situation was the fault of your state's power-hungry Governor
(dumb bitch didn't want to admit she wasn't in control and hand things
over to FEMA and National Guard) and your proud, but innately ignorant,
minority Mayor.
The year after he was elected Nagy took all the $4.5 Million in
emergency funds allocated to assist New Orleans'
residents, for just this type disaster, and used them to teach minority
kids to play sports. So if you're up to your waist in muck and
starving, ask a kid with a basketball for some assistance because he got
your funds.

Thank you for allowing me to rant."
