RDW, Having spent a lot of time in the cess pool called New Orleans, I will apologize to none of them. I do salute those that did fend for themselves and got out on their own. Those that did, are among a very small percentage.
FYI, The Governor prevented the Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, and federal troops from entering New Orleans to help.
Don't try to tell me about cities that are vulnerable to natural catastrophes. I live in Florida, 15 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, from which we got 5 hurricanes last year, but nobody went around crying for federal help. They pulled up their boot straps, and went to work, after they buried their dead. Before I moved to Florida, I lived in Texas near the coast, and we did the same there. People signed up for what ever aid was to come, but nobody bitched about it.
I have no way of knowing what your father did, or did not do, and your rage doesn't faze me at all. |
