"You're right, but they are "wasting this time going around looking for people" because they aren't willing to do what they should have done. They should have told people several days ago that "anyone left in the city after daybreak on Monday is on their own and sh!t out of luck -- 'cause we're outta here and you ain't gonna be rescued!"

I see, so if you don't have the means to get out or you're too old or frail, then it's tough luck?

That's what family and neighbors are for. What do you think people did in New Orleans before there was any such thing as FEMA, the Red Cross, the National Guard, 911, etc.?

I'm always amazed at the number of so-called "conservatives" who instinctively expect The State to take care of every aspect of our lives in difficult times like this.
