Regarding FEMA and Hurricane Katrina
I can forgive a lot of shit. If you fuck something up and inadvertently exacerbate the suffering of thousands of people, I can forgive you. Even if people die, I can forgive you. I forgive the doctor who failed to perform a simple MRI that would have saved my sister's life and the life of her unborn child. Seriously, I forgive him. He fucked up. We all make mistakes.
But one thing I find very difficult to forgive is arrogance; the egotistical refusal to admit that you made a huge ass mistake, you dropped the fucking ball, you didn't have your shit together, you didn't recognize the enormity of the situation, you thought others had it under control, you fell asleep at the wheel, you got distracted, you had your head up your ass, etc.
I can forgive you and we can move on, salvage what we can and find a way to prevent future fuck-ups. But you need to mother fucking own up to the fact that you made a fucking mistake, you exercised poor judgement, the program you designed DID NOT WORK AS WELL AS IT SHOULD HAVE! Don't stand there and tell me everything is A-Okay. Don't insult my god-damned intelligence! Don't pass the buck onto someone else. Fucking stand up, be a god-damn man and admit that the job could have been handled a lot better. And then go about fixing it. Fix the fucking system. It's BROKEN, man! Don't stand there and tell me it's not.
