Therein might lie the problem, said psychologist Harald Graning of Confidential Counseling of Westminster. While the Browns might look like the ultimate ingrates, their response is not unnatural, he said. "Suppose that you were living your life," he said, "and all of a sudden God came down and destroyed your house? You'd probably be pissed." The anger that people feel under such circumstances needs to be vented and often isn't. Unfortunately, the overwhelming generosity of others can backfire by intensifying the recipient's sense of anger and helplessness. "You are forced to accept charity," he said. "It's demeaning." This idiot shrink is as nutty as these ingrates.

They are bitter and what comes out is anger and resentment - no matter what makes sense for a person that is well. I would bet money these folks were bitter before the hurricane because they are way too good at it.
During the evacuation when the refugees first arrived in Houston, we read about volunteers being belittled by individuals. It makes you wonder if love and kindness is a total stranger to some people. That is sad. This is what our welfare system produces - broken, bitter individuals. This is not true of all - but it is true for many.

"Suppose that you were living your life and all of a sudden God came down and destroyed your house?And somebody took me in? Why naturally I'd trash his house and write grafitti all over his walls. What the hell do you think I'd do?

This idiot shrink is as nutty as these ingrates. I believe "idiot shrink" is redundant! ;-)
