Are you kidding me? She trivializes what they've gone through, and the fact that they're now living in a 20,000 person shelter without beds and their own bathroom and so forth. I think it's odd that the hysterics over this are so fierce, but what she said was not "true."

Ever been to a housing project or a Section 8 home lately? Most of them are trash. I figure if these people stay long enough at the Astrodome, they'll trash it too.
Mrs. Bush stated what I and others may have been thinking -- she just had the guts to put a voice to it, that's all.
"Ever been to a housing project or a Section 8 home lately? Most of them are trash. I figure if these people stay long enough at the Astrodome, they'll trash it too."
Yes, actually. I live close to a project and around many Section 8 homes. Do you? Part of the reason there's so much trash around is that the City doesn't bother to do clean-up here very often. And yes, another part of the reason is that many people don't respect their environment or, for that matter, themselves. But it sure doesn't take a bunch of poor black people to trash a sports stadium. Ever been to one after a game?
I have family in Houston and my brother told me that they had to close Astoland after opening it to them for a free time of fun. Tip of the iceberg?
