He didn't get it - these people expect handouts and if they don't have things the way the want them then it's the cities fault or the gov's fault or whatever - I am hearing very few people say thank God I'm alive.

Very true; I remember when I lived in Southern CA, I had a very large emergency preparedness kit....consisting of water, blankets, medicinals, canned goods, flashlights, etc., in preparation for earthquake survival. I'm sure if I lived in a flood prone/hurricane area...I'd have taken those supplies with me and left....but, there will always be those who are unable to leave...for various reasons.

These people can't help it. They have been being told where to go and what to do most, if not all their lives... not all the people, but a high percentage of them. Anyone who has every been around projects (same name all around the country) knows this is true.

When you are on welfare you live your life being told by social workers what you can do...

"these people expect handouts"

Well, if my home was under water and all I had were the clothes on my back, I'd like a handout.
