George Carlin on New Orleans
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 I 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. (I
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
dumb ass 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
