Some of the blame can be put on the people here also. I am going to play devil's advocate. Taking hand outs puts you in a dehabilitated state, honestly the government has stocked the shelves of many of the people who were in the super dome through commodity foods such as juice, powdered eggs, peanut butter etc. When most of us were in a college dorms trying to get our stomachs fed they were getting food delivered to them with part of the money taken from your work check. Likewise all of us know every year that the storms are coming and that we need to stock up on food and non parishable goods, batteries, flash lights, an axe for chopping through attics and wood, gasoline for cars, and water, evac or not. We lose power because of storms all the time, hurricanes are fewer than major storms that flood the area, you know the deal if you live here.

A lot of these people have become dependant on the local and federal government picking up their slack, it was supposed to be a hand up not a hand out. They did not take the aid as a means for them to lower cost of living to get out of their situation, they instead took it as something that was owed to them and THAT is why they are so angry now. They thought that the government owed them an easier life and when the shit hits the fan and it is not given to them they get resentful and angry. Well now something hit and the federal and local government is not able to do the same for them, they have their issues, right or wrong does not matter the fact is the 7 p's piss poor planning prevents proper performance. There was neglect on their side to properly prepare for this situation.

The majority of people got out because they did what it took everyday to make sure they had what they would need, and here is the important term, "in case shit", it is kinda like life insurance, no it IS life insurance. "We should get a car, in case shit happens and we need to do something", "We should take some of these food stamps and get some water and other things, in case shit happens sp we have food when we evac to the dome" I was taught at a young age to take care of my own business and that is why I am in the position I am in now, they did not, that is why they are in the position they are in now.

Some of those poor people have never taken a hand out in their lives and I understand that but they have made decisions in life that have led to this, it is what can be called Social Darwanism, hopefully this will be a wake up call to some of them, sometimes all you need is a swift kick in the ass, it is unfortunate the lesson was not learned before hand, as my favorite saying goes. "Wisdom is cheaper than experience"
