In the instance of Katrina, these are persons that do need assistance, and no, I do not feel they should be passed by. I have not ignored these persons, and niether should the rest of us.

People that now have nothing due to a catastophic natural disaster are not economic 'freeloaders'. These are not persons begging for handouts because they choose to disassociate themselve from the socio-economic culture of this nation. They are begging and asking for assistance as they have NOTHING else. The bum on the street corner and the marooned citizens of New Orleans are two completely different creatures that I do not combine.


What if they were economic freeloaders before the hurricanes hit? The reason that the New Orleans hurricane was such a trajedy is because it hit a city full of economice freeloaders. Yes, these people should be given food, water, clothing, temporary housing, of course. However, what about after all this is over. Will it be back to collecting welfare checks? You betcha. Is this a Christian principle? I don't think so.

They may be different, but completely different? I don't know.
