Oh no, we're not going to GO that way... we may need things. I guess we better plan on getting them from the north and west though.
Sadly, we are full up to the brim with NOLA here. Every hotel room, church, civic center, spare space available is full. I have driven by the local shelter here and you should see the supplies, believe me when I say that the supplies are prepositioned at the moment. We live in a very generous country and I live in a very generous city.
I don't plan on the government to provide. I plan ahead and take care of myself and those in my family. God gave me a brain and the abilities to fend for myself. If everybody would simply do the same we wouldn't need much from the ptb except to clear the roads, restore utilities, and keep the order. Too many people though don't plan and prepare to get out of harm's way making it necessary for the government to take more control than needed.
