I didn't ask if you would evacuate the area, I asked if you would go to the camp. Your dodge of the question is very interesting.

I don't know how you can say that I would be floating dead in NOLA if I were there during Katrina. I actually use situational awareness. The people who relied on the government were the ones who were dead and disadvantaged. I would have used my own initiative to get the hell out instead of waiting for a government camp to open up.

I wouldn’t try arguing with him, he trusts the government absolutely. Either that or he just likes to troll.

You said — “I didn’t ask if you would evacuate the area, I asked if you would go to the camp. Your dodge of the question is very interesting.”

It’s just like any other disaster. The people who need government help will seek it. The people who have other means will probably use those other means. No one has mandated that anyone *has to* accept government help. If anything — people were *demanding* it — instead.

So, there’s no doubt in my mind, that there would *not be enough room* for everyone who wanted space there... They would be *turning away people* unfortunately, most likely for people who really did need the help.
