Thinning the herd

So now I read that thousands of people who refused to evacuate the Texas coastline after being repeatedly warned to do so in the face of hurricane Ike, are now begging to be rescued. Unfortunately that is what the Texas National Guard and other agencies will now attempt to do.
I say let 'em die, drown, rot or whatever. We can do without an extra 10,000 or 20,000 stupid people on the planet.
