Why?

First of all I'd like to say that I'm sorry that I haven't blogged lately. I drove through Ike to deliver emergency supplies to AT&T and Recovery Logistics. I was in Houston where there was no power and sometimes no water. This blog is all about this and my ranting is not going to be kind. It will show me as cold hearted when it comes to Texans. You are forewarned!!!
Why would people not heed a mandatory evacuation order?
The mayor of Galveston Island issued an evacuation order prior to Hurricane Ike hitting this community. Estimates put the number of people not abiding by this order between 15,000 to 20,000 people. When Ike hit the island there were 1,200 calls for rescue from this area that was under the mandatory evacuation order. These MORONS wanted to have someone else risk their life to save their dumb ass. I SAY FORGET THEM! Let them stay there and risk getting a Darwin Award. It would be a fitting end to them. Even after the destruction that you see in these pictures, people are still refusing to leave. They have no power, water, sewers, or food and risk infection from the contaiminated water and muck that now coats this island. They want the Government to give them food and water and ice, which you and I have to pay for. Why reward them for breaking the law? They should be billed for the supplies that they get and fined for not heeding the order. Levy a lien against their homes and sieze them if they refuse to pay within one year. Again the mayor asked the residents that were still on the island to leave. Some have but many more have not. STUPID TEXANS !
