| #2 The welfare wards were a mass of sheep--on whom the incompetent administration of New Orleans unleashed a pack of wolves. Eh... Mayor??? |

| #1 Excellent piece, GK - Thx! The execrable hit piece in the Toronto Globe & Mail (link inside) completely tears it, for me. Fuck Kanada. Go to the UN or Power Corp for jobs - shut down the border. Let them eat snow. Yellow snow. In the piece, this hit the spot and summed it up: "What Hurricane Katrina exposed was the psychological consequences of the welfare state. What we consider "normal" behavior in an emergency is behavior that is normal for people who have values and take the responsibility to pursue and protect them. People with values respond to a disaster by fighting against it and doing whatever it takes to overcome the difficulties they face. They don't sit around and complain that the government hasn't taken care of them. They don't use the chaos of a disaster as an opportunity to prey on their fellow men." |
