Marvin Olasky: Katrina and American individualism
""I am absolutely disgusted," said Sajeewa Chinthaka of Sri Lanka. "After the tsunami, our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering." The problem, some said, was "American individualism," with folks acting selfishly.
Thats the largest load of hogwash I've heard in a long time. After the Tsunami, it was a different area. Most of it was wiped clean, and not much was left to even fight over.
Then in America, right after the storm hit we had folks in there helping out.
Sheesh.

I read a similar statement like that, calling Americans uncivilized. Its crazy. Depraved humanity isn't an American thing--its a worldwide thing. Without laws, every place would be a New Orleans.
