Katrina +2 + New Orleans = Genetic Dead End

The old joke goes like this: A man and his family ignore urgent warnings that a flood is approaching their home. The man tells his family not to worry because God will save them. As the waters begin to flood the yard a fire truck appears and the firemen urge the man and his family to climb aboard and escape the coming torrent. The man declines, citing his belief in God The man and his family are soon forced up to the roof of their home, which is now engulfed in deep water. Soon a boat comes by to rescue everyone but the man waves them off in favor of waiting for God. Soon the water is an angry, swirling deluge and is lapping against the eves of the house. A helicopter appears and rescuers urge the family to get in and fly away. Again, the man refuses…

The American Left Wing has been so stunningly successful at infantilizing a critical mass of our population that a spectacular dependency has taken root. It manifests as a critical mass of population that has neither the ability nor the wherewithal to understand survival, much less prosper.

I am not talking about lazy or shiftless; I am not even talking about people a little short on survival instinct. I am talking about humans with all the self-sufficiency and initiative of a veal calf.

Try these numbers from New Orleans, less than 2 years after Katrina inundated that city: 61 percent with no idea where or how to find shelter. 54 percent, who say that they are “sure” that they will be rescued if they ignore evacuation orders and stay home. 14 percent who say that no matter what they will not move out of the way of an advancing major hurricane, even if ordered, even knowing they live below sea level, and with the experience of Katrina.

When asked why, the respondents gave idiotic reasons ranging from not wanting to leave their goldfish home to fearing traffic jams or crowded shelters. Most normal people when confronted with a matter of survival or dealing with the above would do one of two things; deal with it, or gasp! actually take control and devise their own escape and shelter strategy. Something drastic like maybe packing a suitcase and leaving for grandma’s house inland maybe.

To the genetic dead-ends in New Orleans the notion of taking even the most insignificant moves toward protecting themselves and their families is so far beyond their comprehension as to be completely foreign to them. That they can inhale and exhale without governmental assistance is a miracle.

My answer? Lead that horse to water next time by issuing the evacuation order. If the horse stays put, let it drown. Too many people fight too hard to stay alive for the rest of us to have to suffer these kinds of fools.
