If that is what you wish to believe about everyone in NO, be my guest.
The overwhelming majority of people here are giving, of themselves, their homes, their money, their shelter. And the people who left NO cry with gratitude and ask how they can ever pay you back.
If you want to believe everyone is buying LV bags, just go right ahead. I am telling you that is not the story, that is not even 1 percent of the story. That is miniscule compared to what I am seeing daily.
I have never in my life seen such decency, such generosity, such pure goodness as I am seeing from people all around me. It is breathtaking.
Did you see me say that was everyone. You are making a blanket statement justifying everyone's behavior. I don't buy it and that is my opinion. I have seen plenty of anecdotal evidence and the Louis V handbags is just one example.
And let's not even get started about NO police participating in the Looting and stealing a damn bus from the Superdome that could have been used for other things..but they decided to use it for their own loot.
God bless you, girl ... you're doing the Lord's work. I've lost my earthly possessions . .. in Andrew .. I know what you're seeing, hearing, feeling and smelling .. and you're in the worst of it. It's so tough ..and you'll never forget it.
Please know how many appreciate your kindness and humanity. This is, after all, a political forum .. so those not suffering just aren't in the same place emotionally you are. I'll never forget how badly the people of NO were abused by their elected officials and the despicable beasts who took advantage of that disaster .. and you're going through this awful suffering because of it and doing the right thing. I hope you'll just click past the insensitive posts.
God bless you with continued strength and grace and with many blessings. Your unselfish compassion and generosity is awesome!. Doing the right thing is never wrong.
