My hometown of Houston is as well equipped to handle these problems as any other city. Somebody has got to do it.

Change, evolution, problems-solving -- that's what life is all about. It is our National duty: bring it on!

Houston's heart is as big as Texas. They have done a ton for the Katrina refugees.

Huston folks aren't fools and now expect the Katrina people who stay to get a job and keep their hands in their own pockets, not their neighbors. A novel idea to N.O. people, but one that has merit for the whole country.

If it is a "National" duty, why does one city have to be that "somebody"?

There is an entire country out there, from sea to shining sea, where they can be spread out to and join the local economy. Swamping the economy of one single city only ensures a continuing welfare entitlement mentality.
