Reply to "Destruction in our southeast gulf states"

NM sent a rescue team with flat bottom boats to New Orleans. All the recuers are not allowed in to the disaster zone. Snipers are shooting police and rescuers. Apparently, they are yelling "come get my family or I will shoot" and then they shoot at helicopters and boats. One man, drinking beer, dropped his son out of the second story window just so they would rescue the child. The kid had a broken arm.

It's getting desparate, and the help that's there can't help due to violence. Desparate people are doing desparate things and it is just making it worse for everybdoy. All the people still needing assistance don't have power and don't have have the ability to read the news or hear a radio or a TV to know what's going on. The rescue teams can't function and the local police have lost everything too, and so nearly a majority of the have turned in their badges and quit, trying to save themselves and their families.

But I don't hink it's fair or accurate to say that he rest of the people in the USA aren't paying attention or don't care, we do.

This event is going to displace millions of people. Those who can will be living with relatives. Those who can't will be living in shelters and putting a strain on resouces in the cities hosting them. There will be a lot of people relocting and the effects will take affected the families a dozen years to recover from, except for loss of loved ones, and that will always be a source of grief.

There is help but the problem is enormous and there are problems with law, problems with no electricity, broken levees, no work for any left there, no food or water and no trasportation systems with roads and bridges destroyed. The rest of the country sees it and feels it. We can't fix it over night. The effects will last for years and almost everybody's life will be changed, in some places from the new increased demand for jobs and housing to other folks who will just see inflation and no longer be able to afford to live on their fixed income retirement cash flow, to the youngsters who will be even that much further awy from being able to afford housing or even the price of a tank of gas to go to school or to work. It's a real big problem and our government needs to be thinking with clear logic and taking quick action.

This means no more teaching kindergarten when 9/11/01 happened and no more vacations while massive hurricanes are threatening to destroy our cities, President Bush. Stay in the office assigned to you by us, the tax paying voters who gave you the job, or resign and let someone willing to work stay in his office and work. We have a problem with you farting around while chaos is happening. Mad
