These people have been children all their lives. Their parents and possibly grandparents also. They wait to get their allowance at the first of the month, their food stamps, and their medicade. Their housing has been appropriated and paid for by someone else. They have not had to do or think for themselves all their life. There is no concept of leadership, only followership. Just amazed me and my wife as we watched the news programs how these people just sat in their own squalor begging and demanding that no one has been there to help them. I understand that they are in extreme circumstances, but come on. A lot of things they could have done for themselves. They could have organized themselves at the superdome, kept law and order, appropriated food and water that was available and be sure those who needed got it. I'm sure that there were plenty of trash cans and plastic bags there. They could have gotten a few of these put in the restrooms for commodes and had groups of people assigned to empty on regular basis instead of just doing their business in the middle of the floor. I have seen pictures of stores that have been looted and food is still on the shelves, but they haven't had anything to eat for 5 days. When the waters do finally recede there are going to be jobs out the wazoo cleaning up and then rebuilding. How many of these folks will be in line for these jobs??? I'll bet that many of them will be setting where ever they get moved to complaining that their house is taking way too long to get built.
