That was a common theme among a few I saw interviewed. They seemed astonished to be treated as people. It's sad. But, it's not surprising considering that Louisiana is concerned that these people will not return. I hope they don't. I hope they can turn their personal disasters into something positive.
Louisiana is looking at them as property, wanted to get them back as quickly as possible and stick them in tent cities until they can get them back into New Orleans, and back into poverty and control. It was disgusting to hear them talk about these people as if they were domesticated animals, unable to adjust to a different way of life. I would be insulted at the insinuation that I am unlike other people and unable to adapt because of my skin color. Jesse Jackson, working for the dems, said as much yesterday. The Blanco spawn evidently were in Houston to try to convince people to return. I really do hope they don't.
Maybe some donor organization could round up old laptop computers, fit them with Linux (it's free), set up FR accounts on them all.
