Self reliance doesn’t matter in this case. We have ice storms also. I don’t need or want federal aid. The burr under the saddle is the fact that a cesspool in south Louisiana is more important than other regions. Why do they get the preferential treatment?. Don’t we bleed as well?
I don’t disagree with you one bit. I’m just making the case for people to take responsibility for themselves. Yes, we do bleed. As to why do they get the preferential treatment? I think you and I both know the answer to that. And that is a burr under my saddle as well.
