"The thing is," he continued, "most people don't have cars to leave, don't have money for gas."
Note - Cars, Buses, Trains and even planes have been provided so everyone can leave. I live in Thailand and even know this.
"If I left, I'll probably lose my job," said Jeremiah O'Farrell, another dishwasher who is staying put. "I really don't have anywhere to go if I could leave. I could go home, but that doesn't seem like the thing to try. Too far, I guess."
Note - He is a dishwasher afraid of losing his job.
"Really, how bad do you think it's gonna get?" he asked. "I've never been through one, and I'm not sure what to believe. You see the national weather people, and they're telling you it's gonna be really bad."
"Aw, it's gonna turn!"
Note - I guess this tool didn't hear about Katrina.
"I mean, look at the local weather guys, they know what they're doing, not those Weather Channel people. The local people say it's gonna move north, and that's enough for me."
Note - No words to comment on this dumb ass.
"A woman who would only give her name as Bette, owner of an antiques store in the French Quarter, says outsiders can't understand. "It's hard to explain to someone who's not from here why anyone would choose to stay."
Note - All I needed to see was that New Orleans was under water the last time this happened. No need to see anything else.
"When you stand out there by that river and look at that levee," she said, "you are just so blessed to live here. I am in love, and so I make my choice."
Note - Ummmm, ok.
This is Darwinism at its best.
