I see you have noticed the vocal shrinking political group in America that points out and complains about our diversity all the time are the same ones who are responsible for it... We all get along pretty good here in the south living our lives and pulling together in a disaster. But now all of a sudden the liberal elitists who live in their non-diverse communities think they have all the answers... I saw it all again yesterday visiting college websites. In the south, the displaced students can come on over and go to college for free, even asking the teachers to come too because they need the teachers. But read this at ted's Washington college: To suggest that the above is the extent of WA state's response to the disaster is hilarious. I will not defend our response because it doesn't need defending. Disaster relief tends to work on a regional level if for no other reason than its easier and faster for states close by to send in help rather than from those that are afar. When we have forest fires in WA state, its not firemen from Louisiana who come to our rescue but rather other states in the West and BC in Canada. When 9/11 happened, we did not send firemen from WA state to help with cleanup there........they came mostly from eastern states. Try to understand........its called logistics......one of the things that has suffered in FEMA's response to the disaster in NO.
