*** What possible direction would you need from a government official to direct you toward that big round, domed life saver?***

Remember something...

You are dealing with a population that is used to having EVERYTHING handed to them, from food, to money, to drugs.

And now, they just can't go to the SuperSeven and get a snack. Or have the Van come and take them grocery shopping...

There is no golf cart waiting to meet them at the bridge, taking them to salvation, and people waiting to hand out water and serve them a meal....

These folks have NEVER faced TRUE hardships like they are facing now, and that is a MAJOR weakness in our society...

My God.

Have not seen this before. Scarboro showing a clip of caskets upside down on a beach.

I think he is in Biloxi. They are talking about those who begged for 20 bucks prior to the storm to gat gas to leave town. Says locals are convinced they are beneath the rubble.

Sigh. I agree completely. I am temporarily living in Memphis and the culture that pervades this city completely explains the actions of people in New Orleans who would rather loot stereo systems than seek shelter.
