I came here because Hugh Hewett has MFH's crazy post up as a negative example of what the internet and blogosphere should be doing right now. I don't know MFH, and I am sure he/she is a great guy, but this kind of posting is irresponsible. I ahve family in the region, and have had family in the region for three and four generations. I am in touch with people in NO, and the coast. There are not piles of bodies, there are no coverups of the death count, and everyone needs to sack up and get a grip. Hysterical confabuilation does not help. This is a serious situation. We have ahd a major storm hit what is now a heavily populated region. This is not the end of the world, it is not a tsunami,a nd we are not a third world country with incompetent and corrupt leaders who don't care and won't do what is needed to help. We are Americans. And MFH, and allthe other end-of -the-worlders need to snap out of it and get on with life and helping those who need it.
I smell ozone.
How many dead bodies do you think will be found?
Welcome to FR today.
Being a part time skeptic - you are not related to those people who always happen to live next door to the person to whom some story/event happened to, are you?

Yes, indeed he does.
Hugh used to respect FR. He's come to see it as many of us have, as a haven for kooks (and bigots, I'll tos in).
Oh well.
Hunter, My Favorite Headache will be around on this forum for another four or five years, probably a lot more. You've got about four or five minutes, I'm guessing.
Use them well!
