Your work didn't make me laugh this time, just sort of grimly nod my head in agreement. No one can deny the truth of your graphic, but I hope a lot of people see it and realize that things MUST change in Louisiana (not just New Orleans) or this scene will be repeated even with lesser disasters. What we're witnessing here is the fruit of so many years of liberal "leadership." All who support the concept of the welfare state, be warned. This is where it will lead you.

That said, it should be noted that not everyone in New Orleans is like the goons we see on television. We're not hearing a lot yet about the heros who gave all to help a few, and those are the New Orleanians I knew and loved when I lived there.

If there were some way to survey the looters, I think we'd find most of them came from generations of welfare mothers, who never knew their fathers, and never graduated from high school. Not all, but most.

If they can rebuild Fallujah, perhaps there is hope for New Orleans. They need to weed out New Orleans as carefully as they did Fallujah--but I know that would be "politically incorrect."

Sadly, though your proposal makes imminent sense, it goes beyond mere political incorrectness; the Leftists will label it as "hate speech."

That aside, what you say is absolutely right: this chaos is the outcome of generations of Leftist welfare statism; and it is certain that there are heroes who will rise above this tragedy...and their stories must be told.
