It is so nice to read intelligent reasoning, RI Attorney. It gets old reading partisan comments, knowing full well people haven\’t researched all sides and made an objective opinion on the matter. Most people go with what they already believe to be true (their bias) and then find anything to prove themselves to be correct.
Even those who disagreed [Hilary] understood why Rudi turned down $10 mil from the Saudi\’s after Sept 11. But do we have that kind of clarity here??? FEMA was \”enhanced\” in the wake of Hurricane Andrew to avoid exactly this kind debacle, again, and look what we got. Between cronie-ism and PC fear, all of our leaders are failing our heritage miserably.
I\’ve noticed the main argument for anyone who disagrees with RI attorney and others is that they are being partison liberals. Isn\’t is possible to disagree with choices your governemnt has made and it not be a partison issue? Not every person who disagrees with the Bush administration is a partison liberal and I\’m sure not every person who disagreed with the Clinton administration was a neo-con conservative partison. I find that those who tend to instantly accuses others of partisonship when they state their opinion are the most partison themselves. It\’s ok RI Attorney. You don\’t have to love or hate everything about our government and neither does anyone else.
What have we learned from this disaster and what provisions have been changed to anticipate the next disaster? If we failed to accept aide from countries that wanted to help (no matter how small)shame on us. The displaced folks from New Orleans and surrounding areas are Americans and deserve the support of all of us Americans. Is there a social change going on in that region? Last fall St. Bernard Parish (formerly 90% white) passed an ordinance that if you own a single family home you can only rent it to immediate family members… excuse me but how does government dictate who a homeowner can rent too if they are not a convicted child molester? If you recall, right after the disaster the US Gov\’t website for people to donate listed Pat Robertson\’s charity at the top of the list, ahead of the Red Cross. It was removed after two weeks, many donations and much dispute! How will we cope in the future? Will we respond to our neighbors or turn a deaf ear because we can take care of ourselves??? What have we learned??
Obviously they didnt want aid because the US govt already had a plan. They knew that by slowing down aid, that blacks and other poor people would be forced to relacate. Even now there is money that is not being spent.
This is because they want to remake New Orleans completely as a tourist city. They want the blacks out. The proof is in the pudding. The money will be spent on corprate projects.

Agreed. The majority of the population is within the group described in your post, including myself.
Houston deserves all those poor transplanted people.

Um……Sorry to ask, but….are you being serious? It\’s hard to tell sometimes without being able to hear the tone it\’s said in.
