George Carlin on New Orleans

I received this via email. I have no clue if it was really written by George Carlin. Who cares... several excellent points are made.

I've 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 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. (I 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 vacation, 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
dumb ass 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? If 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..
