I remember what I wanted to say yesterday!!!!Posted Aug-28-07 18:09:59 PDT I was thinking about what someone said about Hurricane Kartina (spell it wrong) and the New Orlean and saying the government mess up. I know what it is like to be hit by 3 hurricanes in 6 weeks. And more than 3 weeks there were no power. It seems like we finally get power back to only lose it within 4 days. I know how hard it is to supply the need when there is no power. They will have gas ready but many gas station don't have power so they can't pump it. It is very hard work to cut down trees and power lines. They are working as fast as they can. My uncle is in trees business and he would get send all over including New Orleans to cut down trees so that power can fix the lines. That is a lot of man power and basically people need to remember that not enough people to take care of everything. Our house finally got repaired last year!!!! Everybody have a need. Everybody need roof professional but there is not enough man power. Truth is when I hear about people saying government mess up during hurricane. I just want to say give me a break. There are ton of people in the same place as you. People risk their lives to rescuse people. I have read ton of stories where government heard the cry of people of not having job since lost it because of hurricane. They organize a job fair and even provide transporation. They got 150 buses to transporate the people to the job fair. They had many opening for these people from New Orleans and guess what only 1 person shows. All those money wasted for bus and people ready to give the job. It is NOT the government resposible to be sure you have your need met. You have to work for it. You cannot cry foul to government when you just sitting at home complaining. Government can provide you the tool and a start but if you don't use it, then it is their own fault. I just get tired of hearing people say about the government with hurricane. It is not the easiest time and yes there is stress about money and so on. But you can't expect someone to do it for you. You must goes thru the process and it is slow because we are not the only one. My uncle was overworked with sawing down trees and clearing the path for power company. He worked in the heat and he even got bit by poisonous spider and end up in the hospital overnight. he is only just 1 person and not able to work as a 1000 people.
