Hey Ray, when you have to CONTINUALLY apologize for your comments, it's probably best to keep your mouth shut and get to working on rebuilding New Orleans.
"Let me tell you something. You ought to go to Philly and you will appreciate how clean New Orleans is."
Perhaps if you worked on rebuilding and stopped blaming others for your failure to get your citizens out of the city as quickly as possible, maybe more people would be alive today. There was SEVERAL days notice that a major storm was heading towards New Orleans. Ray Nagin had an obligation to evacuate the city and waited until it was too late.
As a side note, if you're dumb enough to stay in the path of a Catagory 5 hurricane, you can't blame FEMA for your idiocy. If a hurricane of that magnitude is coming my way, I'm leaving. I'm packing up my family and friends and we're getting as far away as possible. Too poor to drive away? Walk. You can easily cover 20 miles in a day. The government isn't going to hand hold you the entire way. I don't expect the government to hand hold me if a disaster hits my neighborhood.
It's been more than a year and a half and there are people STILL taking handouts from the government. How much longer do they need? Am I missing something? I've been kicked in the teeth by life many times, some of them to the point where I had to rebuild from NOTHING and it didn't take me this long to get back on my feet.
Am I being insensitive? Am I wrong here? Am I the only one who wants to help these people get back on their feet instead of enabling them to do nothing but suck on the proverbial tit?
