[color:purple]nice idea, but i think that's purely wishful thinking. Gotta love drunken optimism though, gets me through my days anyway....

Here's a link to one rescuers assessment of the evacuation efforts.

I was personally questionning what officials were doing to ensure that people with no mode of transportation or money could evacuate during a mandatory evacuation order.

The poorest 20% (you can argue with the number -- 10%? 18%? no one knows) of the city was left behind to drown. This was the plan. Forget the sanctimonious bullshit about the bullheaded people who wouldn't leave. The evacuation plan was strictly laissez-faire. It depended on privately owned vehicles, and on having ready cash to fund an evacuation. The planners knew full well that the poor, who in new orleans are overwhelmingly black, wouldn't be able to get out. The resources -- meaning, the political will -- weren't there to get them out.

[color:purple]the most the city did for it's people was provide free shuttles to the superdome. That quote there, bouche, from the resue worker, that makes me sick....And now, these people who were left to drown and are starving and dehydrated are now being shot to death for "looting" because they're "stealing" essential survival needs from shops. That pisses me off.

if anyone one meets hippy Mike from Stoney Pointe/Windsor (possibly selling hippy pants) tell him I say hes a loser.
