What the hell?
To:
anais_nynjah@yahoo.comI've been glued to my TV for the last few days. I can't stop thinking about all those poor people in New Orleans. They have no food or water. They've had their homes destroyed and there lives destroyed. They are walking through dirty water with their little babies and I wish I could help them. Why isn't our government helping them? What are you going to do to help them? What charity do you think is the best one to donate to?
Okay thanks for all your help.
Cyndi

Darlings, I've received so much mail, but this is my absolute favorite. Here is my response to sweet, sweet Cyndi, whom I've never met and hope I never will.

Dearest Cyndi,
You are obviously "glued" to your TV because you are a deathfreak and you enjoy the suffering of others. You are a pig, Cyndi. How the fuck should I know which is the best charity to donate to? They're all pigs, too. Only pittance ever goes to the poster child. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and donate to
Apathy Internatonal. Don't ever ask me such a stupid question again, you dolt. Can't you think for yourself?
As for all the poor people of New Orleans, fuck them. They've known for decades they were at risk and not even two years ago there was a five-series article detailing what would happen if the levee broke. They were warned to get out, yet they chose to stay.
It's their city. They chose to live there. They knew they were at risk and they continuously chose not to vote in elections. They continuously chose to ignore the problem. They continuously chose to let the Federal Government make decisions for them. This is what happens when people naively choose to believe the Government will take care of it.
Oh, the poor people lost their homes? Fuck that, too. Have you ever been to New Orleans? I have, and if you go outside the French Quarter it's pretty much an enormous shithole. The entire region was bull-dozer ready before the hurricane and it was blight to begin with. They'll all probably get brand new homes courtesy of FEMA, ie you and me, and Lloyd's of London will go bankrupt again.
They have no food or water? Well, if I knew a category 5 hurricane was headed for my little matchstick house, I think I might pack a bag of emergencies and snacks. Wouldn't you? Sure, hindsight is always 20-20, but it's not like Katrina was the first hurricane New Orleans ever hosted. It's not like it wasn't listed as a disaster risk right along with a major terrorist attack.
The reason those "poor people" are in the shit, literally, is that they haven't made it out. They should have realized their situation and done something to help themselves before it was too late. What's the difference between what's happening there now and some broke dime ho living in a section 8 tear down with her three babies by three daddie's? Not much. She's sitting in her crib waiting for someone to come up with some grand plan of escape for her and really she's been forgotten. If Katrina had waited until after the first of the month maybe those people could have left. Learned helplessness is a bitch.
I don't know who irritates me more, the rich or the poor. The haves irritate me becaues they think the world revolves around them. But, so do the have-nots. The rich have all that selfish attitude, but then again, so do the poor. It's always me, me, me with them. There's really no difference. At least the rich have stuff and know people, but then again sometimes poor people have stuff you need and know people you want to meet, too.
Screw the poor. They always want something from you. Fuck the rich. Let them give to the poor.
As far as our beloved government doing anything about it, there was obviously a slight misunderstanding. The actual message that got to the powers that be was that the region was in disaster's wake and oil production was threatened. Now what could that have sounded like to our beloved leader? Try, "Hello Sir, you're about to get richer."
Now if someone had just been savvy enough to say, "Mr. President, terrorists have developed a weather weapon of mass destruction and have unleashed it upon the Gulf oil center." Well, things might have turned out quite differently, mightn't they? Our fearless leader is war-minded. If someone had told him we were at war on the home front, he'd have surely been prepared.
Well Cyndi dear, that's my answer to you.
Now fuck off, and don't ever write me again.
PS. You spelled "their" as "there". Go back to school or look them up in a dictionary, 'tard.
