Here's my friends subdivision. Surprising?

Wagner, you're a funny dude!
{laughing at you, not with you}

Why don't you come on down and I'll buy you a Beignet and a cup of chickory at Cafe` du Mond so I can learn you something about New Orleans.

BTW, nearly one million people were evacuated from South Louisiana within days of the Hurricane Katrina.

More so it seems some can't see past the blame game to realize you can actually protect and be responsible for your own future. Its just simply easier to say "boo hoo...I need help" even when you have warning weeks and now months in advance. I guess relying on the government to bail you out is now the thing to do. It takes away from true tragedies, such as people being abandoned in hospitals..and replaced it with crying, waiting and oh yes...looting.

Thanks for the invite, , but I've been to NO...once was definitely enough.

Apparently you disagree that people should protect themselves...good call...that will get em far.

Evac'd 1M people..hmm that is a 1/4 of the state....not sure on that figure there (4.2 live in L town as of 06)

TV shows NO people living in FEMA trailers right next to their washed out houses. I wonder if FEMA will get their trailers out of the way if another storm is coming? I bet those will all be lost and John Q will foot new ones.....again.

N.O. is a much better place because of it. The citizens thank you!

... and no, I agree that people should take all steps necessary to protect themselves.

apparently you don't, you spent an entire paragraph blaming the govt...

I guess 'necessary steps' includes not leaving during a natural disaster.

you can enjoy it...much better place now...I'm sure

You think those people wanted to live in those trailers? They would rather be in their houses. The trailers were treated with formaldehyde [sic] and it began making those people sick.
