Katrina Damage

I agree. Economic class prejudice is the most powerfully divisive force in America today. Racism comes into play regarding who gets forced into the lower economic classes, however.

Did you happen to notice all of the pictures of Coast Guard people putting themselves in great danger to rescue some 3000+ poor black (primarily) people stranded on their rooftops and in their attics?

Yes I did. Those who were there engaging in rescue operation are to be commended. The problem is that they were ordered to pick them up from rooftops and sit them down in the middle of a highway or some other location where they were abandoned. They weren't taken out of danger, just moved. It wasn't the fault of the responders; it was higher than that. Most of those who volunteered or were ordered in became frustrated that theiy were so mismanaged.

I respectfully disagree with that comment.

So, has anyone posted anything about the "St. Rita's Nursing Home" atrocity yet?

34 residents died after the owners fled.

I think those folks have been jailed. Next they need to get the needle, IMHO.

Needle? I'd rather see them drowned... a bit more poetic justice.

I understand that there were a few survivors. They were found floating on their mattresses pressed up against the ceiling.

Thanks G - one of my better efforts :


PureX is just mad 'cause I won't go along with his "Whitey's to blame for the plight of the poor black man" minstrel show. :devil:

Blaming the President, liberals, or gays is counter productive. And, at this point, I think the only thing to blame is water.

Well, we could blame God.

When disaster comes to a city,
has not the LORD caused it?

Yeah gee, it's happened so many times before. Like . . . . . ?

New Orleans was leveled by hurricanes 4 times between 1718 and 1723. And was flooded in 1849 by another hurricane.

4 times in 5 years?:shocked: That's not a very good track record.
