More Compassion
This guy seems to think that the people of New Orleans should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and fix their own damn city.
As I've watched this all unfold... I've found myself totally without sympathy for the people down there. They're acting like animals. They're acting like its our job to save them. They are resentful, disrespectful, and down right pissed off that we aren't saving them fast enough. I've seen not one single moment of gratitude.Wow. You know what, it is our job to save them. It's our job as a country, it's our job as a region, it's our job as damned human beings. We are not animals. We are concerned for those who need help. I could give a good gosh darn about the idiots shooting off guns. Let them stay behind and die. But the problem here is the mothers and their babies. The problem here is the grandmothers who are dying on the side of the road in wheelchairs, and their bodies are left out to rot.
Piss on New Orleans.
No wait... looks like New Orleans already pissed on itself.
I will miss Preservation Hall though...
This is our job, to make this better. Go do it.

it's people like that that keep racism alive. i guarantee if it was a bunch of confederate flag waving bubbas with shotguns the writer that you criticized would be singing a different tune.
f::: the haters.
and i happen to know that the redcross is using the money that we are donating for the hurricane refugees. thousands are here in memphis and the local channels have a banner running constantly so that the refugees know where to go to get red cross relief in the form of gas vouchers, and food. also shelter, etc.
every dollar is needed. they don't want food and clothing. they need money. because most of the refugees have no access to their money due to the fact that many of them banked at local banks in new orleans, whose systems are completely shut down.

Thanks for the comment, banana. I think that will be one of the most amazing stories as this entire tragredy develops - people are abandoning everything in New Orleans, and looking for jobs wherever they evacuate to.
It's just a completely massive crisis.
