So, did your sister tell her the REAL REASONS? Poverty is a product of familial and societal decay, not skin color. Single parenthood destroys societies... and that urban black communities have been choking themselves to death on the government checks for several generations now?

Or did she cop out and Go PC, and just go with they are poor and society is racist?

Are you done?

[Quilla]

...something called clorox....

ROFLOL!

[Coldwater Creek]

Hope that you can get some rest. We can fiend for ourselves for a few hours.

Where's David Asman?

[NautiNurse]

That made me smile. Glad to see that in the discussion.

[Trust but Verify]

Whoa, you read a lot more into that post than was there. I think it might be YOU who has the problem.

[cajungirl]

New Orleans has been run by thugs and thieves for the past hundred years. The current Mayor is a bit better than others in the past. The city has served none of its citizens well.

And it isn't a racial thing. New Orleans is just a city populated by poor people. Like alot of cities.

[chudogg]

How about another push for ANWR?

[cyborg]

Well if you are a wise parent, you would not explain it THAT way.

[NautiNurse]

feel better now?

[SE Mom]

I know I saw this question posted earlier...but I never saw a reply. I've loaded my google earth- but it seems it's not an actual LIVE shot of where I'm zooming into.

Does anyone know how to get current zoom shots of affected areas?

[Lazamataz]

People? you all are people? I thought it was just a bunch of letters on a computer screen.

Maybe that's why people feel they can be incredibly rotten to other posters. They no longer view the other end of the modem as 'human'. I'm not referring to you BTW, just in general.

Construction began in August of 1971, and was completed by August 1975.



OK fists Just for you:
The Saints have been getting blown away in the Super Dome for "30" years and they survived.
Now you can laugh.

Just watch them try to morph the Cindy Sheehan southbound-heading caravan into an 'assistance to the hurricane victims' effort, and try to fuse both of the issues together at the grassroots (not that I want to give them any ideas here!) for more support and visibility.

Have another cup of coffee and engage a few more brain cells before you post again. New Orleans . . . like any major metro in the country is filled with people of all stripes. Europeans, Asians, Africans, Caribbean Islanders, South Americans . . . even some yankees.

Someone should tell you, the proportions of ethinicities is not the same in every major metro city. Have another cup and think about it.

"Local ABC had a guy in the dome saying they have a new hole in the middle of the dome roof. He went
outside and saw the Hyatt, curtains blowing out the broken windows."

Can anyone confirm a hole at dead center, or is it just near the middle?

I have learned that Askel5 is safe and sound, albeit sleepless in Seattle.

Give me a break, I'm her uncle.

[angelwings49]

Asman said a couple of weeks ago that he will now be doing specials... no more daytime anchoring :(

[Lazamataz]

Not especially. I knew I should never have come onto this thread.

Out.

Lord help these poor folks!

The good Lord provided plenty of information and plenty of help. These people chose to ignore it.

May the Lord help the children of these idiots who were put in harms way.
