Dine Out Tuesday?
I just found out about a "deal" where you can help contribute to the Katrina victims by
going out to eat on Tuesday. Apparently some restaurants are donating some money from their proceeds on Tuesday night to those people.
Unfortunately, my reaction to this proposed effort is "screw you."
Of course, many will say I'm heartless, cold, right-wing, etc. For those who haven't left, stay with me.
First, why? Why should I go out and spend $100 so a couple dollars can go to Katrina relief? I've already sent BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars there via my federal government. What difference will a couple more dollars make? None. That's the net effect of a government that thinks it can provide "charity" with forced contributions. It REDUCES real charity.
Second, why should I spend $100 to give them a few dollars? If I wanted to send money to help, I'd send the entire amount to The Salvation Army or to Samaritan's Purse, where the WHOLE amount would do good, not just a little.
You can make the choice yourself. You can join them and spend a lot of money on yourself so that there's some alleged relief, after the literal BILLIONS already sent, or you can give money to, or work with an organization that actually provides relief to people who need it.

So I'm not the only one saying screw you? Especially if the money goes to New Orleans? Screw you and all the idiots that voted for Ray "New York can't fix a whole in the ground 5 years later" Nagin! Screw you and your" I don't have to obey a mandatory evacuation cause the gubment will take care of me?
Me? I'll send my money to the hurricane victims in Mississippi and outside of New Orleans, where I know it will be appreciated.

I am with both of you on this one. I still think they should fill in New Orleans and build somewhere above sea level. I know this will not happen since it would be too easy and no one would have anything to complain about down there.

I think everyone should be free to build wherever the heck they want to -- WITH THEIR OWN MONEY. Stop using my money, and I really don't care if you build in the bowl again.

On the Discovery channel all this week they have had specials on Katrina and it's aftermath and the only thing I am getting out of them are that the people didn't think it would be bad and nobody prepared.
People complaining that they didn't have food or water. Well you shit heads did you think about bringing anything with you to the evacuation centers or storing stuff in your house?
And people bitching about the government not giving them money to rebuild on the same spot. Why the hell should the government give you anything? You didn't buy insurance through them. Why do they feel because the are poor that everything should automatically be handed to them? Oh that's right, because the left has brain washed them into thinking that is how things should be.
