You know that the anger is not directed at the good people of Louisiana.

It's the local authorities and the MSM that everybody is livid with.

Hell, North Carolina just declared 37 counties disaster areas from Opehlia and Cheney is in the hospital right this minute having surgery and STILL all we're hearing is comparisons of Rita to Katrina.

Downtown Houston Chase bank highrise still shedding flying glass.
The video looks like quite a few windows missing.

I know that but I quit coming here for a week after dealing with constant insults, constant outrageous comments.

It wears very thin when your life is a mess, your house if full of refuges and you hear heartbreak, loss, dislocation, sadness every day.

This is a forum for discussion and information and lately all I read are insults. And I skip those posts for the most part while my blood pressure rises.

I swear, If I could figure out how to start a thread, I would write a damned opus.

I know it isn't you, and alot of nice people. But I wish to hell others would police this forum. I have too many other things going on right now to do that too.

Early yesterday morning NPR was playing tapes of the conference calls between Louisiana officials, FEMA, etc before & after Katrina. Supposedly one of those on the call taped them then made the tapes available to NPR.

One interesting thing was that, although they had planned to shelter "fragile" populations in NOLA, they figured out on Saturday or Sunday before the storm that they didn't actually have the generators they'd need to run the medical equipment in these shelters.

They said they had several hours of tapes available to listen to posted on their website but I haven't had time to listen to them.
