BTW, wonder where the stealing, shooting, rioting, raping, vandalisms are in the midwest where there is massive flooding ala Katrina?????

Wonder what the difference is between the cultures of new Orleans and these midwesterners?

It seems as though the midwesterners are banding together in “gangs” to fill sandbags and build dams to stem the flo of floodwaters...

The New Orleaners were grabbing TV’s, beer, wine, other electronics from the stores that they broke into....

Wonder what the difference is?? Hmmmmmmm....

You’ve got to be wrong. After all, the rural midwestern culture is gun drenched. The bullet pocked wasteland, hence, is visible everywhere.

There was noticeably a marked difference in response...so much so that now the disappointed media is starting the rumor mill of FEMA told us the levees would hold and we were told not to get flood insurance. Translation: Blame FEMA=Blame Bush and blame big insurance = almost like "big oil" and "big pharmaceutical companies" and don't forget the ongoing "blame global warming".

The culture of living in a city where welfare is king

People who depend on the government dont know how to fend for themselves

Midwesterners are just as human as New Orleaners, they just aren’t dependant on the government on handouts as city populations

Thewre is a cultural decadence in the cities, and I am amazed it isn’t slammed down more often. It is the cause, the continuation, and the worsening of the very conditions that keep people living in the waste that is a city.

Any honest look at Dicken’s London, where there wasn’t a single non-white person for miles, shows stories of prostitution, thievery, pickpockets, murders, poverty, despair, work houses, beggars...and that is all in a white city.

That proves this aint a racial thing!
