HOW'S THIS FOR APPRECIATION: HANK1 09/26/05

    From a VOLUNTEER who worked at the Convention Center in New Orleans during the Katrina affair:

    "I just witnessed selfish, arrogant, unappreciative behavior by the very people who need help the most. Now these same people who cursed me refused my cities generosity, who refuse to help themselves are DEMANDING handouts on their own terms!!!!!!! They prance around as if they are owed something, and when they do receive a handout, they say it's not good enough!"

    The e-mail was forwarded to me by a friend. It was quite long. This is just an excerpt. I didn't post the real disgusting part.

    Any comments?

    HANK

      Yes Hank, I have a comment.

      Why do you post this type of dubious information?
      You're not dumb, so you know that - although there is always a slight chance that this is true for a couple of individuals instead of all refugees - it most probably is some rightwing fundamental rubbish, intended to vent racial and/or social hatred.

      This is a testimonial! Not just a shot in the dark.

      Hank I also had such experiences in my work after Katrina it seems that while the experience brought out the best in some people it also brought out the worst in others.The greed of some who hoarded supplies when others went without made me actualy sick.It has been asked why God allowed these storms ?could it be he was seperating the sheep from the goats???
