This may not be true and unfortunately a lot of this crap is coming from our own unregulated and irresponsible press who is willing to report anything for a good story despite the facts. I personally watched reports on CNN of vast murders, gang rapes, and beatings at the super dome just to find out later that it was all a lie. It turned out that the murder rate in N.O. was lower after the hurricane than before and none were reported at the super dome. I don"t think we should censor the press but we should hold them accountable when they report far fetched crap that only adds to the problem. As far as the few lazy dirtbags that do exist(we all know they do so don"t flame me!) why would they get off their butts to help themselves? Louisiana is a welfare state (governments words not mine)and those people have been "served" their whole lives. When you are born and raised expecting the government to give you all you need, then you grow to a point where you don"t understand the concept of self preservation. That"s why "permanent" welfare programs are a failure that gets passed from one lazy generation to the next. An old saying: "Give a man a fish and he has a meal, teach a man to fish and he can eat the rest of his life"! Instead of "hand out" programs we need "train and work" programs.
