I love that young man. Greta asked him if he still talked to the people that he drove to the Astro...and he said "yes." Greta asked him what he says to them, and he replied "I tell them I love them."

And concerning that last picture that you posted, joinedafterattack, one poster defended the mayor's "plan" to use the city buses to evacuate the citizenry out of New Orleans before Katrina hit, saying the following to another poster who questioned it:

"You are wrong. They used city buses." And a little later insisted: "There were buses picking up people all over the city."

BS

"Technically" they were. They were using the city buses to ferry people out of the Ninth Ward to the Superdome. They then took the buses back to the bus depot and parked them. And then, in the final incredible stupid move piled upon a series of stupid moves; even after the buses came though the hurricane intact, and after they were told the levee was breached -- even then they did not move them to higher ground. They left them there to be flooded.
