"Nagin said at least 20 buildings in the city had collapsed and that it might be 48 hours before residents would be allowed back to their homes to assess the damage."

This is the reason so many people stay in the first place.

Where does the government get the idea that they can tell people when and if they may return to their homes?

What happens when people return and the homes have been condemned and entry by the owners is not permitted, even to retrieve their personal property?

I'm sure King George the socialist will arrive on the scene with plenty of our tax dollars ready to be spent on various "aid" programs.

And there will always be people like you to insist that they are true victims of every disaster. Nevermind those folks stuck on their roof or the bodies floating in the flood waters. This is all about YOU.

I am amazed that anyone would post such a post, even in the anonymity of the Internet.

In my worst nightmares, may I never be as self-centered and cold as you are.

And in the name of conservatism, no less......

The roads to their homes are public.
