NOTE: Just so this is not interpreted to be a "racist" observation, let me make it clear that this writing refers to ALL races!!
What is going on? Why do some people feel that everyone else, including the government, owes them?? It seems that there are some people who think that is cases of emergencies they automatically become everyone else's
responsibility and have none of their own? That needs to change!!
For Hurricane Gustave, I saw the vast majority of the people who were getting on evacuation buses, knowing there was a few hours of bus ride ahead of them, do so EMPTY HANDED! Not even a bottle of water for themselves or
even their little children! They've had days to prepare, but they prepared nothing! How about a couple of sandwiches for the trip? No.
I watched the news and saw people complain about the place they had been evacuated to being "filthy" with trash! Many of those complainers are sitting or lying on cots furnished to them. Well, I'm sure it's not the
volunteer workers who dirtied the place. My advice is get off your ***** and clean up!!
For one of the past hurricanes, I received a phone call at KBON 101.1FM radio from an evacuation center. Keep in mind, this center had several hundred evacuees housed there for their safety. Well, the caller explained to me that there was an 18 wheeler that arrived with water, meals and other supplies, and asked if I would announce that they needed volunteers to help unload the truck. I have to tell you, I lost it. "You mean to tell me that you have hundreds of evacuees in that building and you want me to ask someone to leave their house and their family to come and unload THEIR truck?", I asked. Before the person could answer I recommended "I'll tell you what to do. Go inside and tell them the truck is there and needs to be unloaded and that you need volunteers. If no one offers to help, you simply
lock up the back of the 18 wheeler and tell it to go somewhere else where it will be more appreciated"
In another situation, I received a call and was asked to announce that they needed volunteers to help serve meals to their two hundred or so evacuees. My advice again to that caller was to get some volunteers among the evacuees
and if they refused, then simply don't serve food.
I am concerned that the day will come when we will have a lot of trouble finding anyone willing to open it's doors to the people who need to evacuate, and I cannot blame them if they choose to not make evacuees welcome. After all, they have nothing to gain by doing so. People come into centers, halls, etc. and practically trash the place. They complain to the press about not being comfortable, the place being dirty, not liking the food, not getting water often enough, and more. Then they leave the place in filth!!
I am concerned that the day will come when people will not volunteer to leave their home and families to go and "wait on" people who have absolutely no appreciation of them and what they are doing to help. Imagine volunteering to help someone out of the goodness of your heart and not only, not being appreciated, but being criticized for your service. Personally, I'd rather stay home with my family then give my time to such ungrateful people and would not blame anyone for feeling the same way.
I saw on the news recently where the Red Cross was having problems getting donations to help the people hurricane Gustave victims in our area. Could it be that people around the country are seeing the "whiners"andt he "unappreciative" and just don't feel like giving to such people, knowing it will not be appreciated?
It's my belief that the American people are great, kindhearted and generous people, and are very willing to help people who are trying to help themselves but I think more & more of us Americans are feeling less & less generous to people who just don't appreciate it. It's important to know that no one owes you anything. It's important to know that people will help you a lot faster when they see you trying to help yourself.
I am concerned, and you should be too.
God bless America, God bless Louisiana and God bless you!

Love this post... too true. There's truth to the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you". Not all people are like that, but there's enough of them that they make headlines. Last month in LA someone was quoted in the news as saying "people overreacted - we all evacuuated for no reason" (something to that effect). Go figure.

yes, stupid should hurt lol
we took the direct hit from Chalie, it was terrible I feel for all of the people effected by these storms
we live so far down in the boons that the red cross didn't know we where here lol I was hearing about all the hot meals, bug spray, grandma cookies lol and we didn't see the first red cross truck lol
but God sustained us
I slept on the picnic table in our backyard with the skeeter spray and when the sand fleas came out I went inside to the heat, no generator (got one now lol)
we caught cleaned and fried mullet for the Armed Guards and they loved us...it's great to give back in your time of need...you get Blessed beyond you could ever imagine
Praying for Texas!!!

Great post ! I'm sure this does happen, but I didn't see any of that when Charlie wiped us out here in Florida. It brought tears to my eyes to see the kindness that went on here. I really couldn't believe it. People knocking at your door to make sure you had water and ice. This wasn't the Red Cross either, these were just neighbors and strangers. I can't even list all the acts of kindness I witnessed. ( Red Cross was great too)
After about 2 weeks of the horrid heat and waiting in ice lines, people started to get cranky and everything went back to normal. It was still really impressive how helpful everyone was for the first couple weeks.
starfish............I love that .........stupid should hurt. lol lol .
