Thanks for the frank and common sense asssesment. I was unaware that the Superdome was aequately supplied with water and food. I read the bizzare Nagin's cry for help saying supplies were running out and took that to mean at the SD.

But come to think of it, I saw a video where the people outside of a "Civic Center" I believe looked pretty healthy and laid back. Many sitting on their duffs. I would not at all be concerned about them. I thought there were thousands gathered without food and water.
I have very mixed feelings on what is going on there-(probably because I just don't know what IS going on down there.

The Superdome operation has been for all intents and purposes well run considering that they have no running water or sanitation. It's the Convention Center, where people gathered believing it was an evacuation point, and the I-10 Causeway, where people wandering out of the city first meet dry land, that have been miserable for evacuee's.

The National Guard is in charge of the Superdome operation btw.

Except of course for the 2 dead bodies they showed outside the civic center.

Me too. We are so geared to not question those that are so hurt by circumstances, that it is really hard to see some things we do not like. All are mixed together and we feel questioning one, questions all. It does not.

We just have a city with all kinds of people - some good, some bad, some drug dealers, some thiefs, some innocents, some children. And, they will act out as the people they are. Some we resent, some we love.
