Here's an article that sums up what happened in Louisiana. Now I see things a little differently. As I always believed, the gov't is goind too much for the people...

I haven't found the source to give proper credit. Borrowed this
elsewhere.

.........People living in piles of their own trash, while petulantly
complaining that other people aren't doing enough to take care of them
and then shooting at those who come to rescue them?this is not just a
description of the chaos at the Superdome. It is a perfect summary of
the 40-year history of the welfare state and its public housing projects.

The welfare state?and the brutish, uncivilized mentality it sustains
and encourages?is the man-made disaster that explains the moral
ugliness that has swamped New Orleans. And that is the story that no
one is reporting. ...........

It sure sounds like the American "take no responsibility" culture is breeding a new type of lowlife: one that has no respect for anything or anybody, not even themselves :o .

And, undoubtedly, the UK will surely follow in due course, as always :(

And the Philippines? Let's not even GO down that road B)
