You know, years ago, when I was in the 9th grade, our english teacher brought in a poet to lecture. The only thing I remember after all these years are these words of his:"Broke is temporary, poor is a state of mind." Now I along with many othr folks will be broke our entire lives, but never be poor. In NO, there was a large segment of poor. In the story about the woamn sitting with her daughter, with all her possesions waiting to be picked up, sounds like she is broke...She will be a survivor, but just needs a ride....I hope someone in the community, or at least the reporter relating the story gave her a ride somewhere...
And thats what gets me about some of these reporters---they are they to lead it if if bleeds, but do they lift a finger to help someone who actually needs it, or does that interfere with their "objectivity" of not becoming part of the story?
I just hope this woman tonight has been directed to a safe haven.
rant off
Someone will come collect her, especially if she figures out to call 311. Houston has buses and cabs circulating to pick up people like that.
