Perhaps you should ask yourself why that is?
Could it be because of all the hatred, insults, ignorance and abuse that was heaped on the government AND THIS COUNTRY from the tv screens in our living rooms?
Could it be because nothing seems like enough?
Could it be because a lot of us live in hurricane states and for years have known just what the odds are and just what needs to be done to PREPARE.
Did you not know you lived below sea level?
Doesn't it even occur to you that Mississippi endured the same storm you did and yet we don't see all the insults, hatred, etc., coming from them?
Do you not realize it takes TIME to come back from something like this?
And don't even try the "nobody is looking for a handout" on us; we're not that dumb; everybody that lived in that delta area should have had flood insurance; it's not OUR fault they didn't. Lots of your fellow freepers need our help and understanding. No one is looking for a hand-out.
And again I ask (since you all have managed to ignore every single question asked to you about it) why should WE pay your home mortgages?
No one is getting anything from their insurance policies right now, at least very few are getting settlments that are acceptable.
Acceptable to who? I'd bet they are getting what they PAID FOR, and evidently that's not enough.
BTW, on the subject of self-help, what's wrong with Louisiana financing it's own recovery through taxation on oil and gas use of our coastline? Do you want oil and gas rigs off the coast of North Carolina?
Oh, nothing, except that you used it as a threat when you didn't get the money you demanded. The other 49 states can play that way, too.
In fact, now that you brought it up, I'd say that if you do go that way, the federal government shouldn't give you one more dime.
should have been left off the 7th paragraph.
Good post.
Well, that's two freepers who were formerly willing to help Louisiana who could well change their minds because of the attitudes of those in that state.
Let me see if I get this right, Howlin. First, you don't want the feds to help us as it is. Then you don't want us to even help ourselves if we have the ability to do so. If the feds can't help us, and we are not allowed to help ourselves, how are we going to fix things? How long should we wait on you to figure it out?
Great post!
