It breaks my heart to see all of the suffering. However it seems that the people in NO ignored even the most basic instructions they were given if they chose/had to stay. I heard people on the weather channel say over and over
to have food and water and a change of clothes for several days. Very few seem to have done even the minimum to survive for just a brief period of time until help could be mobilized. How hard would it have been to get canned goods, cereal bars and water and have it on hand? They were saying for days it was heading to NO.

Very sad, but am sick of hearing the blame directed at W. They ought to be pointing fingers at the sorry officials in La if they're pointed anywhere.

I loathe and despise the MSM.
Thank goodness for the internet.

I never thought I would see fellow Americans doing the types of things they are doing in NO during a huge disaster of this magnitude. I'm glad we are gun(s) owners.

Brilliant! They are showing the kids dvds at the astrodome. What a relief for the parents and the kids. A brief reprise.

Turned from FOX to CNN for 30 seconds, heard some blond say capitalism is to blame for all those left in NO>

Totally crazy!
