Lawsuit: Katrina Pets Executed Investigations, Two Criminal Indictments and a Lawsuit Put the Heat on St. Bernard Parish's Sheriff's Office Read the article here . This story about pets that were ordered to be left behind by law enforcement during Hurricane Katrina against owners wishes is part of a bigger, much bigger problem facing America today. This story is about the summary execution of those pets ordered left behind and the brutal mentality creeping over our law enforcement in today's world. The way I see it, being so dependent on .gov and caving in when the .gov wants to play nanny with us emboldens them to such an extent that tragedy is bound to happen. Why? Because the .gov doesn't have our best interests in mind and our law enforcement is not legally bound to *protect* us. This is a dangerous combination, my friends. There's something terribly wrong with an over-bloated, money-strapped .gov using incompetent agencies to "rescue" us and over-zealous, Rambo wanna-be LEO's to "protect" us in the event of disasters. So, my question is, what the heck did people do 50, 75, 100 years ago when they knew big trouble was a-comin'? I'll tell you *what*. They TALKED to each other about HOW they were going to HANDLE the problem and they KNEW they could COUNT ON their neighbors, friends and family after the disaster for whatever they needed to survive until they could make it on their own steam. Well, well, well. Imagine that?! People helping people. We, as a people, can't count on the goodwill of neighbors every time disaster strikes because there ain't anymore goodwill to go around. This bugs the crap out of me, because I'm of the generation where this behavior among people was the norm. What we have now is a society who doesn't even know who their neighbors are , for pete's sake. Who among us began dividing us? Who in our midst uses in-your-face, antagonistic confrontation in their daily walk through life? What leaders among us strive to alienate, separate and divide their little clone cliques? Who are the Illustrious Leaders among us who are excellent role models? Where are the teachers who have a passion in their belly to teach kids how to be productive role-models in their communities? Who in our midst, in positions of leadership, are espousing piety and religious adherence while doing what our Creator finds despicable? Who among us are saying, "ENOUGH, ALREADY!" to the take-over of our God-given rights to govern over ourselves, our children, our property, our finances, and our decisions about how we choose to live our lives - right or wrong? Who? These are some questions we should all be asking ourselves in an attempt to get the monkey (.gov) off our backs, take responsibility for ourselves while being God's servant to others. To do no harm. To do what's necessary to restore order, civility, generosity, and goodwill towards all men. To do. And, why not? If we don't start facing up to our failure in carrying out our individual responsibilities in life and keep turning to .gov to "rescue" us from every natural occurrence that comes with living, there may come in our time, when things will be so far out of our hands, that it won't be just our pets who are executed when we stand our ground over who rules our lives. This Hurricane Katrina debacle should be our wake-up call to arms to stop .gov interference in our lives. Our Constitution guarantees we have the RIGHT to be LEFT ALONE. All we have to do is *CLAIM* it! Even if it's over and over and over again. It will always be over and over again. It's a matter of eternal vigilence. Our Heritage.
