Anyway, I spent the next seven hours discussing Katrina, labor laws, capitalism, Marxism, feudalism, trust busting, and God knows what else with various family members. During the course of one conversation with my stepdad, a psychiatrist for New York State, mentioned that next week he will be doing trauma counseling at an old National Guard base in Peekskill, NY, where 2,500 evacuees are being shipped in from Houston. He also said that in the efforts to move people from place to place, families are being separated, with some children sent to one city while others or their parents are sent to another. Appalling! Why are they leaving Houston, anyway? Because they can't stay at the Astrodome anymore because in Texas, football must go on!!! Yes, its amazing how quickly they are moving them out to the other states. There will be a stink over that one two.....the fact that so many families have been split up and that many people are thousands of miles away from NO and want to go home. I wonder what FEMA plan they were following? ted
