If you don't have a TV or radio, how can you find out there is a bus?

Very, very few people in 2005 America don't have TV or a radio, or access to a relative's or friend's or employer's TV or radio. Sorry. I don't buy the "too poor" excuse. There are many litigimate reasons why a minority of people could not leave on their own -- disability, advanced age, illness, late-stage pregnancy, etc. But with adequate advance planning, coordination and training by city, county (parrish) and state officials, any number of alternative modes of transportation could have been mobilized to evacuate such folks.

Joe Scarborough was saying that many gave the reason for not vacating was that, despite wanting to, they didn't have the money to put gas in their cars because Katrina was going to hit just before the end of the month and they had not yet recieved their welfare checks............

Scarborough must have repeated that at least 4 times during his program.
