where is it written that the government is responsible for ferrying every indigent from harms way?

And where are you getting your information that all of the people there were 'indigent?' (Be careful to not let any more of your thinly veiled prejudice seep out accidentally again).

The mayor has just said that the method chosen to 'evacuate' them was to get them to the SuperBowl, not to get them out of the city. But the city's evacuation plan said no such thing.

Are people who are physically or mentally disabled 'indigent' in your view, and should be left to fend for themselves? Are people in nursing homes 'indigent?'

At what point does your desire to keep power out of the hands of the government (even the city) negate your ability to see things as they really are, and help those in legitimate need?

And why did you make that absolutely stupid statement about blacks' being 'fed and housed for free for hundreds of years.' if you are now denying that those 'hundreds of years' included slavery? (Can't wait to see how you try to wiggle out of that disgusting comment.....)

Quote my remark accurately and I will reply. Quote it incorrectly and I'll ignore you.

BTW - I do hope your community inherits some of the fine upstanding persons I am talking about. You seem to need a taste of the persons that make New Orleans the murder capital of the U.S.

On a purely Christian chord - Do you think the U.S. federal government or any other will be able to rescue humanity from the plagues and pestilences God has in store for us?
