Yes I am.

It IS everyone's own responsibility to take care of one's self along with those in the same pickle. Nearly everyone could have moved inland ~one mile IF they had so desired, by car, walking, wheelcahir, or on some's back. Most refused for some delusioned reason or another.

The difference would be from hundreds lost to many thousands who "stuck it out" as Nature buggered them.

Most post-modern people have lost their FEAR of Mother Nature as they blame America for their weather. Many of them will have died this week.

My observations are with profound sadness as I believe that thousands are dead and dying. Lack of water shall kill fast.

"Actually why are they black?? Would they not paint them blue or white on the bottom so you could not see them during the day spying on us??"

Why are they black? Because they didn't listen to the guys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy when they were selecting colors...

Sorry you aren't getting your confirming reports. For most of us, statements from officials saying they aren't even gathering bodies (NO) or expect high counts (MS) or will be counting for weeks (both) are confirmation that the situation is what it appears to be from the level of destruction. If even 10% of structures in the affected areas were occupied, the kind of numbers referenced in this post are in no way out of the question.

Please explain how "debris" equals human bodies?

Well those poor people were trapped inside crumbling buildings, not floating on the surface of the water. I do recall seeing seeing dead bodies after the tsunami, another awful tragedy.

We should all be hoping and praying for the least number of victims.

Would be great to see your face when you are forced to realize otherwise by events on CNN or in front of your own eyes.

You have clearly not researched the topic much at all.

Or else you don't know anyone operating . . . in the field.

But go ahead and throw rocks. Might help keep you off the street.

I'm hoping that your friends emotional state bas caused him to embellish the story somewhat. What he perceives as "thousands" hopefully isn't. It's very hard to maintain perspective in extremely stressfully situations, and people tend to overestimate the proportions of the disaster.

Please understand, I'm not trying to denigrate him, I'm just hoping he's wrong.

The idiot governor here sat on her thumbs. Blanko hemmed and hawed about issuing the mandatory evacuation for NO. On one of the live Katrina threads they told of when Max Mayfield basically told the mayor that he was going to regret his decision to wait the rest of his life. The incomptetent boobs in charge fumbled this big time.

"listening to Glenn Beck...father has called in who has a dtr in lock up in jefferson parish (?)...she is afraid they might not make it out alive....looters have sniper weaponry and are fighting off any help arriving...protecting their jewelry store turf....glenn has him on hold now..."

If the caller says "Baba Booey," you (and Glenn) have been had.

Evidently God disagrees with you.

You certainly do. It's a shame that people like you show Gods love through condemnation.

Let me give you a quick lesson. When man sinned, he also cursed the earth. Animals started eating one another etc. Because of mans sin, nature is at war with itself and us. WE did this, not God.

Yes as there are undoubtably those trapped in buildings all across the affected areas.

. I do recall seeing seeing dead bodies after the tsunami, another awful tragedy.>>

I do too but it wasnt until a couple of days later, but they werent easy to see in many occasions.

We should all be hoping and praying for the least number of victims.>>>

Hear Hear.

My source was an interview on FOX with a Cotps engineer. The reporter intimated the levees were their responsibility, and the officer VEHEMENTLY dispelled that notion. He named the responsible entity, but I don't remember it's name.

One can only offer wisdom and truth.

I take it by "one", you are not referring to yourself.

Do not reply to me. I don't want your crazy rubbing off on my computer.

I loved the quote from the looter who said this was their chance to "get back at society".

If these guys are getting sniper cover, for the protection of society, they need to be shot on sight.

"Public officials were skittish about relaying fatality numbers because firefighters, other emergency workers and even volunteers navigated mountains of debris Tuesday, finding bodies all along the waterfront."

That pretty much says it all.
