Mike I like your viewpoint alot.

I think there should be alot more aid coming or already there though... its been what? 5 days since it happened and they are just getting there? Thats kinda bogus to me... I think the mayor only called for X amount of troops and that was obviously wrong because the govt sent a bunch more now.

What I dont understand is how some people are taking this and making it much bigger than it already is.

Take for example the Tsunami a few months ago.... NO warning, VERY poor conditions-worse than US anywhere, much larger area of devastation, etc. If they can get through it than I think New Orleans can get through it, its just that the bastards that are looting and causing trouble when theres no need are hurting the help. Its not because of food or water its because there is no law and people are raping others and taking whatever they want because they can (gangs).

Just take out the gangs and get on with the show.

Also if your going to """Ride it out""" why did you not prepare and gather food, water, constuct a shelter or reinforce something etc.... Thats what I dont get. I would have probably ridden it out too if I knew my house could take it- or a different building... I would have stocked up though, meds, food, water. If your going to take on the storm then do it with common sense?
