The situation now is spreading, like a long slow storm surge, along an expanding wave from the Hurricane area - refugees from N.O. are being force-fed into an area already saturated by those who left the coast voluntarily - the geographic scope is unimaginable - the Media cannot tell the story - it's too big - all they can do is pick a few spots - but they cannot tell the story, whether they want to or not.
Just saw an interview on Fox with a Lt McLeary (sp?) of the LA State Police.
He said "There were a few robberies in the Superdome, but no rapes" (don't think he mentioned killings..) "..hard to tell fact from fiction.."
Given that Gov. Blanko said basically the same thing yesterday morning (was it? time runs together..), I'm wondering if this is now the "Official Line", to be repeated regardless of facts or reports from the ground.
What about sending buses from every major city in the country, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Philly, etc, to Houston. Those cities pick up the tab for gas, provide the buses, and we help get some of the evacuees spread out across the country. Most of the the people are likely to have relatives in those other cities and we help lighten the future load of Houston, and Texas.
