Atlanta area has some 12,000 evacuees living at taxpayer expense in motels, and about once a week to local lib newspaper runs a story about their "problems". The problem is usually how much time they spend looking for free housing, free food, and free clothing.

Never once has a story mentioned the story's subject looking for a job.

As long as these people are living and eating free, they'll stay where they are - that's human nature. You get more of what you reward.

Thousands of evacuees have restarted their lives, at their old hometown or in a new one, with new jobs or old ones, and we salute them. Thousands of others are coming to the end of their free ride.
