True. The city was proud of the "party town" (selfish and licentious life styles)image. Mix that with the "the world owes me a living" mentality and it is no suprise so many people preyed on others after the disaster. The only hurricane survivors they've interviewed on tv who seem calm and civilized are the ones who say "thank GOD we're alive" or "I trust in GOD to take care of us". It would have been unthinkable in these politically correct times for that mayor to ask everyone to PRAY together before the storm but how much more effective that would have been than waiting for government help!
"the world owes me a living" mentality"
gimme gimme gimme
Make your own damn life.
Right about now I wonder where the NO Amish are and why they aren't rioting in their buggies. /sarc.
