FACT: 100% of New Orleans residents are human beings.
Well, you can rewind a few years, go to Iraq, get raped and get your head cut off by a rusty knife.
Just because some in New Orleans are sometimes verticle (when they're not sleeping in the streets). How about the snipers shooting at human beings with their efforts to help other human beings?
If I were there, I would take out any "human being" trying to rape my wife!
Then again, I'm old fashioned.
FACT: there IS such a thing as evolution - proven by the fact that the unevolved NO ragtag are the ones lighting fires, shooting at helicopters, and wading thru the streets laden with suits-ripped-off-the-rack (with hangars) and teevee sets.
I wish we could get that through to Jackson, Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus, the mayor of New Orleans and others who only see racial statistics and political power not HUMAN BEINGS.
The sooner the divisive, hate-fueling folks have lived out their lives' final chapters, the better off this nation, and the people they claim to speak for, will be.
From the outpouring of sympathy, of volunteerism, of donations, of opened homes and more the *mainstream* of America sees only their fellow Americans. And, on that measure, I've got some hope for our country's future.
