I have to sprout off here...I just got done reading the article on MSN about the Mayor of New Orleans complaining that the quote -"federal official in charge in New Orleans, Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, had made himself “the new crowned federal mayor of New Orleans.” " - endquote
Wasn't this same man(Mayor Ray Nagin) that just 2 weeks ago complained that the federal government was so slow in responding and that he "was pissed off" about the whole thing?? Of course, the "feds" have told him that NO is still unsafe and that the time table for citizens to return should not be this accelereated. In addition, there is a nother tropical storm(Rita) possibly headed in their direction and that to have to rescue the 150,000 people that are expected to come back again! Talk about shear stupidity! The same folks that are being blamed for the storm and it's damage are again trying to stave off some of the cries for help that will happen if they rush to resume "normal" life!
Mayor Ray Nagin has said he wants to hear Jazz instead of helicopters but can't you at least wait until everyone is rescued before starting the party!
And while I DON'T mind giving to help those that need it...I hate to have to support those(again and again) that are just to blind to see the truck coming at them!
New Orleans WILL be revived...just not at the pace that Mayor Ray Nagin wants it to be...and you know that in this world of "instant gratifacation"..."Now" is just too late!!

It's funny, there are a lot of people blaming the government and the president and what not. There was an article in (I believe Time or Newsweek) about the 4 people/departments that screwed up. The president was not one of them. People should just stop complaining about who did what wrong. The point is to learn from it and not make the mistake again. So I think everyone agrees that one mistake was not leaving soon enough or some people not taking the threat seriously...well let's learn from that and remember environmental experts are calling NO a "Toxic Gumbo". Let's be smart people.
