39, I smell what you are trying to say in this post and others you have made concerning Katrina. You certainly have your right to express your opinion. However. you have absolutely no concept of what the phuck has happened down here! A few cars and trucks and roofs damaged in Colorado aint shat compared to the unprecedented devastation that the Gulf coast has endured. What was reported on TV about the flooding in NO., rioting, and so forth along with the fraud by some is what the news organizations is what makes for a good news story. Do you understand that these ( Katrina People ) as you call them arnt a handful of minorities taking advantage of the system. Do you understand that whole cities along the Ms. coast have been completely wiped of the face of the earth? There are many thousands of homes for miles and miles that simply dont exist anymore. there are hundreds of thousands of people just like you and I that dont have homes to go to. Even with virtually around the clock cleanup efforts going on for the last 4 months, they have only made a small dent in the road to recovery. The rebuild and recovery process associated with this type of never before seen total devastation will take years, not months. Contrary to what you may believe from watching TV, many people that at least still own the lot where their home once stood are living in tents. there are not enough contractors in this part of the country to get these people back in their homes in any type of timely manner. Anyway. as I said before, I understand your point, I dont agree with a free ride either. But the fact is we need big time help down here. You simply cant understand how these people are hurting.
