Maybe in the end this will have a positive effect of the lives of the younger people who may receive opportunities they would never receive if they stayed and grew up in the ghetto's of New Orleans. Sometimes you get so ensconced that you can't see the forest for the trees in life.
As people pour forth to give aid and assistance over the coming months and Jessie Jackson, the Black Caucus, etc., lose direct control of them -- spread out across the country -- their perspective can't help but change.
Is that true....67% live on the public dole?,,,it's the first of the month, they'll be asking where their checks are next.

I've always been amazed how God can bring blessing out of what would otherwise be situations of terrible trial and despair. I don't profess to begin to understand it.

I was thinking the same thing -- some of the more aware of the poor will take advantage of this, but obviously some will continue their "victim" status.
