Tired

This is going to sound ugly or inconsiderate, but I am tired of hearing about Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. Saints fans feel as though this Super Bowl win has finally changed their luck or started to make things better after the disaster that struck in 2005.

People of New Orleans, I have six words for you: You. Live. Mostly. Below. Sea. Level. Below sea level! And your city borders the Gulf of Mexico, which is a hot bed of hurricane activity many months of each year. You have to take into account that a hurricane could come along and devastate your area. So, because you voluntarily live in New Orleans, you should make emergency plans in the event of a hurricane. Additionally, because you voluntarily live in a city that is at or below sea level and that borders the Gulf, you accept the danger of hurricanes. So, buck up, rebuild, and MOVE ON!

People that live in Tornado Alley seem to accept that tornadoes are going to happen. And after a tornado does happen, the people get out, clean up, rebuild, and go on with their lives. You don't hear them whining about it all over television or making remarks of how a sports team's win finally puts the area back on the map and/or rejuvenates the city/area.

So, people of New Orleans, while you're out in the streets celebrating Mardi Gras this month, take a moment to assess your surroundings. Stop whining about your hurricane woes. If you're going to continue to utilize this "Oh, poor pitiful us! We were trampled by a hurricane!" routine, I'm going to have to request that you move to higher ground and that the United States close all of New Orleans for good.

The end.

ETA: I am sorry that your city was obliterated and that many people died and are still missing. But stop complaining. And move somewhere else.
