Mass Destruction & Mass Retardation

I am up late reading up on the madness that is taking place in Louisiana.

Thank goodness the President made an address to calm the nation.

PrezAdent: "We gotta conserve. If you don't need gas then don't buy it."

We're in good hands people.

So looting, raping and shooting at military and medical people. I don't know about looting and raping. But I'd probably shoot at them too if it had been 4 days of living next to a giant septic tank with babies dying, no food or water or promised busses. And now police in those areas are turning in their badges in record numbers.

I feel sympathy for the people who have lost everything. I do. However, when you know a devastating 150 mph storm is coming towards you for several days and there is a statewide evacuation and it's been less than a year after a Tsunami ripped through the Pacific killing over half a million people... Unless you're a baby or a pet I have to ask why didn't you get the fuck out?

Don't worry, the Prezadent is gonna fly over in a plane again to survey the damage a second time.

Isn't that like the fuckwads who see an accident on the road and slow down to see if there are any dead bodies but don't get out to help.

Until I see Bush wearing hip boots and handing out bottles of Evian water to the refugees he can go fuck himself.

And anybody who takes advantage of a crisis to steal, rape, or hurt others should be ground up, cooked and eaten.

It will be interesting to see who gets rich off of this human tragedy. Bush cut short his stay at his Texas Ranch two days after the storm hit. Too little, too late. That pretty much sums up the federal response to the disaster.

Now, thanks to my friend Molly, I offer some visual distraction from the insanity.

Y'know, I thought the same thing. In such an advanced nation as the U.S.of fucking A, with a whole heap of warning beforhand 1) tthe Government didn't have an evacution plan, and 2) Nobody moved, no one even thought about getting out of the way of the storm. What a bunch of dickwads! I mean, if you see a truck carrening towards you, do you wait for it to run you over?

PrezAdent: "We gotta conserve. If you don't need gas then don't buy it."

You know he has a point. My secret shame, and I think I speak on behalf of most of us, is that under the cover of night I often steal away to the gas station and buy up large quantities of gas for no good reason.

I know I have a problem but I feel powerless to stop myself. Everyday I tell myself "Don't go buying gas unnecessarily!", but by midnight I find myself in a zombie trance filling up 44 gallon drums on the back of my truck. Then I hide them in an alley only to go and do it again.

I'm hurting our country but I can't seem to kerb my terrible obsession. I'm going to say a prayer now for all the little babies in Louisiana.

Giggles: You make a good point about those who did not have the means to evacuate. I was referring to the able bodied people who had the means to leave and chose to stay behind. There is an arrogance towards and ignorance of the dangers we are living in. This "It won't happen to me" attitude is what killed many who chose not to evacuate.
