Only an idiot would think this 'family' was representative of most evacuees.

These people were trash, but many more who have been helped are extremely grateful. Those who help understand that there is some risk, yet they help anyway. They make this country better, not some keyboard blowhard.

I agree. They were trash. Part of what they did was just the fact that they obviously weren't accustomed to keeping their place clean on a regular basis, and they clearly got a little annoyed about anybody making demands on them.

I imagine these were welfare folks who aren't used to having to do anything about their lives or their environment. A family member who worked for Habitat for years said certain people could get a brand new house and reduce it to a slum in under a year, mostly because they were totally passive and didn't know about cleaning or repairing.

I don't think this family was typical, though. Or at least I hope not.

So I take it then that you took one in and you are not a "keyboard blowhard"?
