Historically, too, we have been a nation of self-sufficient people holding Judeo-Christian values.
I wonder if there's any connection here?"
You make a good point. I just feel so sorry for the neediest of the needy -- the sick, the elderly, the children who must rely on others -- so sad.
I was wondering that, too. I've been looking at the photos on Fox and can't believe the mess! Just read an article on Fox that said they hope the water will seep out of the city at the rate of one half inch per hour. That's a foot a day for 20 feet of water. Wow! What kind of rot can happen in that time.
make that without dialysis.
Jesseeeeee just showed up on Larry King. He is arriving in NO - 3 days after the Bush administration did. Excusing the looting, etc. Disgusting.
Helicopters are using the levees, when possible, to pick up survivors. He may not be able to land, or even enter NO airspace. Coast Guard aircraft are up and the entire area is closed to general aviation. I would bet there are some NG aircraft up also. If he tries to enter restricted airspace he is liable to be escorted to dry land, followed by the nearest jail cell.
Uh....those aren't my words; why are you attributing them to me?
Like I said, what's wrong with human-sized sand bags? Just because they are using huge ones doesn't mean they can't ALSO use little ones. Now that the water level has stabilized, they aren't fighting the current (which was the purpose of the huge ones).
Point being: Every little bit helps. And it's sure ALOT better to be part of the solution than to be part of the problem.
Thank you for some good news!
ON Monday!!
Did anyone just see the report on MSNBC about the convention center. They have NO supplies there FGS. It's something I cannot imagine, where is the water? Food?
It's criminal at this point that the police just pass by without any word of when help will come.
Yes. If they require dialysis and have limited kidney function, they won't last too much longer.
And I suppose if they had no insulin most of them would already be dead.

you should read this...and they have armed Nat Guard overnight now..
The scanners report that an Air Traffic Control flight from Texas is coming in; flights over the city are suspended at night; someone's trying to contact the St. Charles EOC; other units are asking for direction to the Dome; and the fire units are working to some extent.
The supplemental lighting is available for the police.
State Troop B has accomplished its mission, whatever it was.
HQ 10-59, get Highway One on the radio for me... sounds like people are getting their heads out now help is on the way.
>> It is hard to believe this is happening in America.<<
Not if you have been paying attention to cultural shift the last decade.
Remember, we live in a country where people riot when their basketball team wins.
Nick Andros. Yeah, I know, I know much too much about this book. Just happens to be in my top ten list of books.
What I know - this morning at around 6:00 eastern - they had 200 busses line up; to be brought up in columns of ten.
I heard that some of them got rolling.
What I do not know, Did all 200 get on the road? Was that all the busses thy ever found?. When that got to Houston did they head back to NO? Can they be refueled?
I did read that more folks are gathering at the SD. How many? Have we got boots on the ground to counter (kill) the gangbangers yet?
Which half? lol (/sarc)
Just kiddin'! :)

Jesse Jackson on LK just stated he believes people are exagerating about the snipers shooting at rescuers.
Comparing NO to Iraq. We don't run from snipers in Iraq.
LK actually tried to cut him short when he started in about infrastucture budget being cut THIS year.
Throw the GRANDSTANDERS out now!!!
LOL...
"They" can rebuild NO whenever they want. As long as "they" is private industry and "they" don't take one penny of "my" tax dollars. Welfare, is welfare. Subsidies, are subsidies.
