George Carlin on New Orleans
"Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to
speak out about the bullshit going on in New Orleans.
For the people of New Orleans...
First we would like to say, Sorry for your loss. With
that said, Let's go through a few hurricane rules:
(Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming)
#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the
hell out. Don't blame the Government after they tell
you to go. If they hadn't said anything, I can see
the argument. They said get out... if you didn't,
it's your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear
it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.)
#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and
non-perishables. If you didn't do this, it's not the
Government's fault you're starving.
#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store
that has some. (Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's
are not edible. Leave them alone.)
#2b. If the local store has been looted of food or
water, leave your neighbor's TV and stereo alone.
(See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Just
because they were smart enough to leave during a
mandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to
take their stuff...it's theirs, not yours.
#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at
them and then complain no one is helping you. I'm not
getting shot to help save some dumbass who didn't
leave when told to do so.
#4. If you are in your house that is completely under
water, your belongings are probably too far gone for
anyone to want them. If someone does want them, let
them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth.
Just leave! (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior
and put a curse on them.)
#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million
dollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino.
Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that
is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on
quicksand would you? You want to live below
sea-level, do your country some good and join the
Navy.
#6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie
Jackson and Al Sharpton want you to believe, The US
Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way to
eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither
did Russia as a way to destroy America). The US
Government didn't cause global warming that caused the
hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for
over a million years).
#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you
anything. This is the land of the free and the home
of the brave, but you gotta work for what you want.
McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, get a damn
job and stop spooning off the people who are actually
working for a living. President Kennedy said it
best..."Ask not what your country can do for you, ask
what you can do for your country."
Thank you for allowing me to rant.
