complaining about the conditions at the astrodome

We haven't figgured that out yet but probably cause hvacwhatever wasn;t there to build bridges and provide a limo service

could it be because they didnt have jobs....just the money that the govt takes away from me so they can have six kids?

they couldnt afford to leave? Than why do they have kids? man I wish I could afford to have a kid....its time.


Maybe, just maybe, the majority of these people make up the depandancy class of this country?

could it be that the dependancy class of this country is the absolute weakest portion of this country? fastest growing?

probably, most of em.

why is it that the dependancy class finds so many naive bleeding hearts who are willing to take even more of my money to help them?

what if millionares, were in this situation? would the dependancy class send them some taxes back, or pull the race card when welfare drops a little in the absence of their tax money.......

seriously, answer me these questions. I honestly want to know where the guy who would call me a racist stands. By the way, I grew up in the ghetto, I know where the dependancy class stands.

Good question. With all huricanes there is a significant number who decide to ride it out. And not just low income people. Wasn't it Camille that caused flooding and destruction but most who stayed survived? This one was a bit bigger and had more of a sea wall generated and then the levee broke causing more flooding than most imagined.

I probably would have stayed if I had survived past storms and had no where to go.

Perhaps this one will be a lesson for all. And more people will be made aware of Shelters that are available and public buses and transportation will be used more.

ok. worked 60 hours a week but lived like a dog so the goverment can take more of my money and help create a fast growing culture of superloosers who are convinced they deserve it. I do what I can to add my money into the pool, so the left wing can add to their incentives to breed. I do this knowing that my kids will have to deal with the filth we have created even more than I do.

Pretty danm good of me, imo.

All of which I agree with. I'm just not taking great pleasure in other people's misery. I can't kick them when they're down right now. Now, not everyone will react like you and I. So, let's say they're not the most ambitious. Let's give them 6 months or so to wake up and relocate - start over. The cream will rise to the top, and be productive again.

What's left will be the trash, lazy, incompetent, looking for a handout. But I just can't put them all in the same basket right now.

You can say this but it is not your tax dollars supporting these people mine are. It is my tax dollars that are paying for the electricity to house them and keep them cool pay the water bill and gas so they can shower. My tax dollars that are providing police protection for them and against their assaults on the nearby neighborhoods. We already have a very heavy tax burden here in Houston we have had to cut back services like fire and police. Even with federal assistance it could bankrupt us. We already spend billions a year to educate and feed the estimated 400,000 illegal aliens here this is just too much.

We have and have had tax and spend Democrat mayors for decades because of the poor ignorant blacks and hispanics along with white liberals controlling elections in Houston. All we need is to add an additional 100,000 or so to the welfares rolls get them registered to vote in November elections and completely ruin our town.
For most of you the Katrina catastrophe is winding down and TV will move on to the battle over Supreme Court nominees. Those of us in Texas and particularly in Houston will be saddled with this plague forever; this could be the death kneel for two cities Houston and Nawlins. For us this could be worse than the last invasion from the northeast rust belt of the 70's.
