You place milk cows in a pen, you feed and water them and when foul weather comes you leave them to fend for themselves? Somehow I don't think farmers do it that way.
"Echoing the mayor's prediction, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Saturday she expected the death toll to reach the thousands."
What is amazing is the number of people comparing this to 9/11. If the people in the World Trade Center had had two days notice of what was coming you can bet they wouldn't have hung around. These people were warned and chose to stay and those going into shelters chose not to bring food or water despite being told to do exactly that. You can't save an idiot from himself.

The tough part for me would be eating in front of a child whose parents didn't bring any food or water for them. I don't think I could do it. I would end up giving what food I had brought to children.
