A friend of mine is a Baptist Minister, he rented a van, drove to NO to drop off food, clothing and blankets a week or two after the hurricane. There was also room for 6 to come back to Buffalo with him, a place to stay, etc...
Not one person wanted to leave, they were all cozy in their big tent, watching TV and eating at the buffet table that was all set up and manned by the local Baptist Church.
My friend Lenny was disgusted at their lack of any desire to help themselves. He drove back here with an empty van.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for these people from N.O.
We were poor when I was growing....many in the public housing project where I lived were poor.....bu poor then, meant the breadwinner lost his job. He was looking and ashamed to be living on assistance programs.
Not these N.O. leeches...most of them never worked in their lives, have lived off the taxpayer from birth.
When I look at them losers.
No offense to Buffalo ... however, if I'm native to NOLA Buffalo, NY isn't exactly going to be my first choice for relocation ... neither is Minneapolis/St. Paul, Milwaukee, etc..
