Carolyn:  Got this e-mail from a guy that lived in Canton, Miss, when Jerry and I were there.  He and his family moved to Texas.  Here is what his Mother & Father told him about the People from N.O.
 
 
Here's a story for you....................as witnessed by my dad and mom.

At the state line between TX and LA, there is a HUGE, brand new rest area.
It's NICE.
Okay, here's the story.  Last Friday, my dad, who works for TxDOT, answered
a call for TxDOT employees to go help with the refugees at this rest stop.
So, after working ALL DAY Friday, he and three guys from his office left for
the state line at I-20 and Waskom, TX.  Working that evening was a state
trooper, several sheriff's office deputies, Red Cross workers, TxDOT
employees, and other local volunteers.  These buses from New Orleans start
pulling in.  They let the people off to potty, eat, and rest.  As they get
off the bus, they are greeted and shown to the restrooms--where they pee all
over the walls, floors, mirrors, etc.  They did not even flush the toilets.
Left the restrooms in a HORRIBLE mess.  The local Burger King resturant
donated burgers and hotdogs and had people there cooking.  Two black dudes
walk over to see what's being cooked and one says to the other, "Man, I
don't want none of that shit."
 
Other volunteers are handing out bottles ofwater.  The people take them, drink two or three drinks from the bottles, and throw them on the ground.  My dad and his coworkers spend their time picking up trash and taking it to the very large and OBVIOUSLY placed trash cans.  (They ended up hauling off two HUGE truck loads of trash from these people).  
 
He said WASTEFUL wasn't the word. Other volunteers had brought in
snack items, such as chips, crackers, gum, small candy, etc. There were
ladies there making snack bags for the people and handing them out.  These
nasty, nasty people would take the bags, dig out what they wanted and throw
the remainder on the ground. BRAND NEW FOOD ITEMS!  
 
Daddy said one deputy got so mad he yelled at them to "STOP WASTING THESE GOOD FOLKS MONEY BY THROWING THE FOOD AWAY.  IF YOU DON'T WANT IT, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS RETURN IT TO THESE NICE LADIES!"  He was hot! Daddy worked pretty much all night. He and my mom said the people were HORRIBLE.  Nasty, filthy mouthed, ungrateful.  TxDOT had to pretty much scour the Rest Area and restrooms after they left.  
 
My dad went home and slept most of the day Saturday, gotup sick and had to go back to bed.  Remember, he'd been in the hospital not two weeks ago with chest pains (he's okay now, but still!).  The man went to help these NASTY people after working ALL WEEK!!!
 
So, after hearing this, I could really care less about a lot of them.
Idiots and human debris.  I am more resolved now to send MY donations to the
officers and firefighters. Forget these IDIOTS!  They are fools and it's
mean, but Texas does not need any more of those!  GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to add one more thing.....

Why are all these fat blacks lying around on cots sleeping while white
people are lining up by the thousands to SERVE THEM MEALS???

I am sorry but it's starting to piss me off that we're expected to serve
these lazy assed "evacuees" indefinately.  Why the hell can't they line up
themselves and help unload all these trucks and cars full of FREE stuff?
Okay, let them have a day or two of rest but then put those folks to work
taking care of themselves.  Why the hell should any of them want to get a
job when they can lay around all day in free air conditioned stadiums
where they don't have to spend a dime and they have TV, entertainment and
education and great food?  Houstonians are going nuts being nice to these
people, free hamburgers, free admission to the Childrens' Museum and
Museum of Natural Science, etc.  Show your LA license and everything is
free. Like I said, a short time is definately warranted after all they
have been through but it's my opinion that the worst thing we can do for
them is to allow them to do nothing.
