"And then they comfort themselves by buying Louis V bags "
One fraction of 1% of people doing that and you taint your whole commentary to exclude the other 99.999% who are truly suffering with nobility and sacrifice?
I knew a woman who drank rum, a real louse. She was a Rummy Chick. Rummy Chicks are all drunks and lushes.
You know what really struck me. The ones who did not leave NO included the usual people who want to "ride it out" and usually do so without dying or needing rescue.
But I was struck by the number of really sick people. People who had dialysis, heart disease, old, bedridden. And who for the most part lived at home. I just didn't know our cities were so full of sick people.
My conclusion after watching this was you better be prepared to fend for yourself, to get yourself to safety. And the sick and old really need someone to look out for them. I have seen dozens of NO college kids who evacuated prior to the storm with their grandmothers who were like 92 and sickly. ANd this is not rare, so many kids looking after their families.
The press doesn't cover it. And thus colors everyone's view of the people down here.
99.9999999 PERCENT SUFFERING WITH NOBILITY?????
Not according to what is being reported. Ever read some of the things that have actually dealt with some of these people from NO. How about the report from the ungrateful people in the Astrodome.
I didn't say everyone was out buying Louis V. bags. I gave that as an example.
I have the right to JUDGE people who do such a thing without somebody telling me that the poor person is so bereft at losing everything that she deserves to use charitible or goverment money to buy that 2000 bag.
Btw, I don't drink So see if you have the brains to understand the reference in my nick.
