I understand what you are saying, but what about the poor Houstonians who are in the same plight? She has a NEW home for crying out loud. What about the ones who have been living out of boxes in Houston for years? THEY are the ones who deserve something OVER the Katrina "victims", IMHO.

The PC crowd has gone overboard for these people. YES, there are some out there that are genuinely grateful for what they have been given (or should I say handed)but, they are few and far between.

I know the gov't has given the Katrina victims much more than victims of other disasters, and that there are people in other states still waiting for help from past hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. That's very unfair.

Yes, this woman should be grateful she has a nice home to live in. I think the newspaper is pushing this story for its own purposes. And yes, there are certainly residents of these cities who could use the help that the Katrina victims are getting.

All that said, I saw her problem as one that could be fairly easily solved with resources already available. And not knowing her, I tried to offer a solution instead of dismissing her.

Why have they been living out of boxes for years? Are they not intelligent and resourcefull, able to find a new life? Are the shelters all full?
