Don't Give to Hurricane Katrina Relief

Don't give to Hurricane Katrina Relief.

That is don't give until you have properly evaluated who you are giving to and what the people you are giving to will do with your hard earned funds.

I am shocked and amazed at the outpour of help that has washed over those who have suffered from this disaster. It is equally amazing that just because a miss-managed international charity that uses a red plus sign as their symbol spouts off a huge figure for rebuilding far before the actual damage has been assessed.

Let's get real people they botched up 911! Why would you trust them with your hard earned wages now? There are millionaire coke addicts traveling all around the world because they hit the lottery thanks to the red plus sign. Charities like this one and a certain breast cancer fund that plasters pink ribbons everywhere are businesses that make money off the business of helping people. These organizations throw big parties for their management team in 4 star hotels in NYC and nobody pays mind to this. Many don't even know about it.

Let's look at the people we are helping. According to Celine Dion (I love to quote her) these people may have never touched a plasma TV (So sad, tears). She says so what if they steal 20 pairs of shoes because "they won't get far with it. Let them touch these things they never touched." Touch it, rub it leibshen (sic). Und now is the time on shprockets when we dance!

New Orleans has the second highest murder rate in the nation. Even the police were caught looting after Katrina passed.

More importantly, they all knew Katrina was coming. The media tracked this storm for more than a week before it hit the coast. Don't tell me these people don't have TV's, you can drive through south central L.A. and see little shacks that people live in and there in the front room is a huge big screen. Blame the major of New Orleans for being unprepared (like he was), blame the governer of Louisiana for not acting quickly (because she didn't), blame the president for being on vacation (because he does his best sleeping in Texas) but when it all comes down to it we are each responsible for our own survival and the survival of our loved ones.

YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM!

YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT HAPPENED EVEN IF YOU DON'T DONATE A CENT!

You probably have already paid the bill in higher gas prices. The one percent of the petroleum refining that is done on the gulf coast stopped due to the storm. So that equals a $1/gallon increase (on average) in gas prices? I DON'T F---ING THINK SO!

It's high season for the gas station owners!

You will also pay in insurance premiums just like with 911. How many of you had a 50% increase in your property tax because of 911?

You will pay in taxes as Bush asks Congress for billions upon billions of aid for the gulf coast. All before any damage assessment has been made.

After the predicition that it would take a month for the waters to recede, today, a little more than a week after the disaster parts of New Orleans are already opening. Mardi Gras is back on schedule. The plastic bead necklass makers are back in business. And Howard Stern's girlfriend is flying around looking for lost puppys.

It just warms the heart that soon the thieves and murders of the Big Easy well be back to work again.
