true as to the indifference. I tell you I wish I could organize a freeper bus tour of southern louisiana from the Texas border to Mississippi so people can make an informed judgment about this portion of America they would like just to sink. I was talking to a Natioanl Guard friend that was with the Tiger Brigade of the Lousiana National Guard. It is truly beyond his belief that after his unit spent so much time building up a country to return and get the feeling no cares about his backyard. He said he felt he got more respect in Iraq
My 'bruddah' is 256th... he said the same thing. He got back from Iraq just in time to evacuate from Katrina. Now he's the liaison between FEMA, the National Guard and the communities in his part of SW LA. Cajuns are working their ass off to get back to normal in that part of the State. I will say that I wish I felt like more was being done by the majority of displaced 'Yats' (I know you're from there, and I hate to say that, but it's true).
The uninformed carping of many around FR on this issue is just that; uninformed carping. I've just learned to ignore it. You cannot bring reason into their life, no matter how much you try, and New Orleans, along with the rest of the Gulf Coast, is going to survive this whether they want it to or not. So what is the point? Just crack an Abita, put on some Bosoleil, and ignore these a**holes.
