As I was watching bits and pieces of the football game tonight (the New Orleans Saints vs. the Atlanta Falcons), everyone and their pets were making a big deal about this game being in New Orleans and it being the first game in the Superdome since Hurricane Katrina struck the New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico area. I couldn't help but think to myself, yeah, people can't stop the weather from devastating buildings and breaking dams and levees and whatnot. But the one thing that was really pissing me off basically, was that they kept talking about how so many people died and lost loved ones, etc. etc.
These people can't blame the government for this loss of life, even though they want to. These people were told that this hurricane was going to basically destroy parts of Louisiana, especially New Orleans. They want to say how the government was slow to help them get to safety and how they didn't care for the people of N.O., you saw it all on the television. But I seem to remember there being tons of reports of how people were told that they should leave...It was in their best interests. But they were stubborn and they were going to do the whole 'wait it out' thing.
Okay people, you live in a city that is below sea level. What the hell did they think was going to happen when the rains and winds came crashing down on them? Did they think it would just skip right over them and go inland. Sorry people of New Orleans who wanted to be tough and wait out the storm, you get no sympathy from me. I am just a heartless man who cares not for stupidity of the masses.
