You are missing my point Quicksilver...I am well aware that there were some folks who had no choice but to stay. There was clearly not enough planning down in LA and MS for this type of catastrophic disaster. The story on CNN that was posted for a few days on the front page showed a family which could have easily have fled from the disaster. If they honestly could not then the story did not explain it in detail. It is this group that I shrug my shoulders to and say, "You risked your life to stay, you fortunately made it through alive, and now you are angry at everyone else for the consequences of your decision?"
