RE: 'They Have No Clue What's Going On Down Here'

While the situation in New Orleans is heart-rending, it is the inevitable result of our slide toward socialism and planned economies. Thousands of people hadn't the wherewithal to get up off their butts and leave the city, they sat around and waited for the government to do something for them. Now that the government has broken down (as it inevitably will), thousands simply wait to die or victimize others because they don't even have the most basic survival skills. As long as we allow the liberals and the social engineers to continue to erode self-reliability and self-responsibility in this country, the more we will see incidents like this. What I wonder is how far down that path will we go before we realize this sort of thing isn't localized. We need to understand that the situation has completely undermined our civilization and we need to take it back before it is too late.
