As for "why these New Orleans evacuees are such criminals"... well, I try not to generalize about people. Sometimes they change. And we don't know each person's situation. We don't know that those who are still unemployed are sitting on their "lazy asses" expecting someone else to support them. We haven't interviewed them.

I myself respond better to encouragement than to criticism. Perhaps others do as well.

I do sense in your tone that you are angry about the situation. Why?
He's probably angry because he works for a living and has to pay high taxes to take care of those who will not work. I can understand that. I think we should do what the bible says......if you don't work, you don't eat. I bet we'd hear some realy crying then.
