That was a million cents worth - LOVETOFISH. And you didn't have to resort to rudeness or name calling to stress a point. I guess some peoples language and mentality are on a four letter basis.

Yes, Mo'nBack maybe a little long but no way RUDE.

The greatest nation on earth,and they still can't get water and food to visible stranded american citizens.WHY?

Because the roads are out and there are 100,000+ people to get the food and water to.

Remember the general or whoever it was that was letting the people into the super dome clearly stated prior to the hurricane that they were making absolutely no plans to provide the refugees water or food. They were only concerned about being alive on the Tuesday after the hurricane. If those who were able had left when ordered instead of making plans to loot the services we had down there would have been able to handle the situation.

My friends, we have just met a couple of liberals through their text. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Need I say more.

At least Bush hasn't decided he wasn't their President so he wasn't going to try to support them at all. I'm sure a lot of people who's homes were destroyed and all their possessions, jobs, pets, friends, kin folks, and lives in general lost, didn't vote for Bush. But I bet that they will be happy to recieve the help that the armed forces that he leads provides, as soon as they get there. This catastrophe covers a 90,000 mile area, and the president can't snap his fingers and make it go away. Nor could Senator Kerry, Ralph Nader, Ronald Reagan, Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Elmer Fudd, The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny or any other character. Unless you got God's Nextel Direct Connect # handy we might ought to do all do we can to help, and realize the Presidents hands are somewhat tied, the enormity of the destruction is really just now coming to light. And throwing money on a fire won't put it out.

LOL, got a kick out of that one Pox.
Lovetofish, thank your sons from all of us for their service to our great Country!
And to anyone who reads this who has served.....THANK YOU!
I saw something on the news today where black leaders are begining to make this into a issue of race. How unfair is that? A previous post stated that New Orleans was 66% black. I do not know if it is true.
I do know that if I lived in a city that was already 10 feet below sea level, and the biggest Hurricane since Camille was headed my way, ima thinkin, me gonna split the chit outta dare. Those without transportation coulda taken a bus, hitchiked, anything to get out. And if the Feds spend the billions to rebuild something that can happen again, then I will tell the Feds they are ignorant. I vote to trash the levees and make New Orleans one big azz fish habitat. Or at least truck in 40' of fill and build the city to 30' above sea level.

Not much to add to that, Crappiereaper, except that I do so enjoy coming
in first thing in the morning and being called stupid - Thats all.

If it appears to you that I called you stupid, please forgive me. I have read most every post you have made and respect your opinion. Maybe I read into this post wrong. But, one thing is for sure. I don't think you're stupid by any means.

No way, man - I'm sorry, I was talking to Crappie66,
for saying everyone who voted for Bush was stupid, not you at all.
Go back up a couple above my original post, and I think it will all be clear.
I didn't exactly vote for bush so much as against Kerry - where he lost me
for sure was when he started talking about how foreign leaders had told
him they wanted him to win, or whatever all that junk was. If, in fact,
he was talking to such people about such things, while we are at war, to
me that is unforgiveable, even treasonous. I am major pi**ed at the Europeans, so whatever
they want, I am against. And I asked myself this too, who do you think
Al-Quaida and Saddam wanted to win? So I went the other way. Simple as
that. Of course thinking about watching his wife on TV for four years was
another thing as well. Not the deciding thing, but a strike against him, in
my book. About reading my post - you mean anybody actually reads
all that :p Jeff

all that needs to be said - or all that some can say? At least some on
here, who I am in complete disagreement with, have suggested what they
think would fix the problems. It's a lot easier to point fingers than it is to
actually come up with a solution.
