When 80 percent of the city's population, according to the mayor, evacuated before Hurricane Katrina, that left behind those with no cars, no resources, no way out.

BS mayor, you had tons of buses to get these people out, that you didn't use.

Those busses are used strictly to get the black voters to the polls on election day and for no other reason.

Any plan to get New Orleans residents with no car out of the city would have to be local by nature. Uncle Sam doesn't know where Aunt Gertrude with the hip problem lives or where the poorest projects are or how to route emergency traffic. Any such plan is local by necessity.

Uncle Sam can provide money and resources to implement such a plan. But the lack of a plan, and the lack of doing anything worthwhile locally, that lands at the doorstep in New Orleans and LA.

Do you people realize that if these buses were to be run all over the state, packed with refugees, that many of them could break down and therefore be unavailable on Election Day, when they really would be needed to bus voters to the many precincts where they are registered?

What if the present Mayor Nagin, whom I think I remember from the old Amos'n'Andy Show, were to be, you know, like unelected. Would this not lead to massive social unrest?
