"I concurr with everything."<BR/><BR/>PS: It's close to $3.50 a gallon here in NY. If it's not Scooter putting us all in hot water due to the Afghanistan/Iraq bullshit, then it's the individual gas stations gouging the prices, taking advantage of the American consumers because of a tragedy like Katrina. What the gas stations are doing is no different than the fucking looters in NOLA.Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159539883712835177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1125617001183938992005-09-01T18:23:00.000-05:002005-09-01T18:23:00.000-05:00dondon, you said you found it difficult to underst...dondon, you said you found it difficult to understand why someone would steal electrical appliances at a time like this. i suppose from a comfortable position where we sit, it does appear as all-out greed. however, from a place of chaos, death, destruction, and disease, it's not so hard to comprehend. <BR/> plainly, in many cases, these folks have nothing left. no shelter. no transportation. no family. and no hope. when you are hopeless and surrounded by death and destruction, it's easy to justify taking that t.v. it's a valuable piece of property to sell later. it's that feeling of--fuck you for leaving us stranded in this shit, i'm getting what i deserve. <BR/> i do agree though, when you said we have to remember this group had nothing to begin with. precisely! this hurricane struck one of the most impoverished places in the u.s. i also will go out on a limb and say i think it's why aid is trickling in so slowly. would an affluent area of florida (white) have seen so few rescues and relief? <BR/> it also kills me that bush just assembled some 'task force' to assist with the survivors. that's right, just assembled. we all could track the path of the 'cane on the weather channel, tell you where it would strike, but the cowardly president did nothing until after it hit.<BR/> apparently bush is still 'scheduling' his transportation to the gulf port. jeezuz, they guy can't even get there until friday. unreal. asshole.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309556275463387118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1125616228203634322005-09-01T18:10:00.000-05:002005-09-01T18:10:00.000-05:00I've been nursing a migraine, too.

Personally, I would help them loot food and medical supplies as needed for survival.... but there is a limit to this total lack of conscience! I was amazed to see two police officers in uniform with shopping carts full of merchandise on the news.<BR/>We need the military in there, and we need it fast. People desperate will begin using guns and more deaths will ensue.<BR/>I also wonder about the FEMA plan that was supposedly established two years ago which would address situations like this in New Orleans.<BR/>Scooter better shape up really fast. This is all happening at the lowest point in his presidency (41%).dondon009https://www.blogger.com/profile/17555917921714099527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1125614614607741502005-09-01T17:43:00.000-05:002005-09-01T17:43:00.000-05:00I thought there was nothing that the Idiot from Cr...I thought there was nothing that the Idiot from Crawford could do to further outrage me, but now I realize the outrage will never end. Today it sparked me into a flurry of typing resulting in three postings:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://disgustedinstlouis.blogspot.com/2005/09/hurricane-katrina-disaster-relief.html" REL="nofollow">Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief: Waiting for a Leader</A><BR/><A HREF="http://disgustedinstlouis.blogspot.com/2005/09/vacation-and-excuse-president.html" REL="nofollow"> The Vacation and Excuse President.</A><BR/><A HREF="http://disgustedinstlouis.blogspot.com/2005/09/operation-blessing-this-is-just-too-f.html" REL="nofollow"> Operation Blessing: This is just too f*-ing much!</A><BR/><BR/>The first two are self-explanatory. Operation Blessing is a controversial charity run by Rev. Pat Robertson that is the second listed charitable organization for Hurricane Katrina disaster relief donations on FEMA's website just after the American Red Cross.Disgusted in St. Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831983817039007159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1125613690889287732005-09-01T17:28:00.000-05:002005-09-01T17:28:00.000-05:00We need to do in New Orleans what we should have d...We need to do in New Orleans what we should have done in Baghdad - if you're going to go in there, don't go in there half-assed. Go in with some numbers. Go in with some people with some mighty guns to restore order because right now the only guys who are commanding things are the guys with the semi-automatic pistols tucked in the waistbands.<BR/><BR/>Until you get some order going you can't get the people out. You can't get supplies in. As it stands at this moment if you brought in truckloads of supplies, the fuckers with the guns are going to take it. You'd better be sure you've got guys with BIGGER guns guarding it.<BR/><BR/>This isn't the time to hesitate. This is the time to clamp down because when people are desperate they'll do anything and follow anyone who's got the goods.Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051120501450103612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1125611035148828922005-09-01T16:43:00.000-05:002005-09-01T16:43:00.000-05:00I've heard that around more than a few watercooler...I've heard that around more than a few watercoolers, even Bush supporters are complaining.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610519140099879630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1125595393536446562005-09-01T12:23:00.000-05:002005-09-01T12:23:00.000-05:00I must say, I was amazed and horrified, first at t...I must say, I was amazed and horrified, first at the force of this hurricane but even more so at what seems to be really bad organization in the help and rescue plans.<BR/><BR/>Now, I don't know that much about how things are organized in the US but I was under the impression that the National Guards, law enforcement, rescue teams and so on where actually on stand-by to go in and clean up the mess ASAP?<BR/><BR/>And still, after a couple of days, it's still lawless country, which I hardly thought would be the case i a western society.

We had some looting incidents of our own by refugees being housed in our River Center so downtown is now under lockdown. Our mayor is demanding that those refugees be moved out. There were 3800 apartments rented here yesterday. There is no more rental property to be had. Our city has pretty much doubled in size overnight and we were certainly not prepared for that.<BR/><BR/>My friend that is here from New Orleans now has to get her daughter registered in a local school pretty quick. The New Orleans area people are scattered to the wind and who knows if they will ever return. <BR/><BR/>My brother is worried about whether there will be a newspaper left in a week or so. They have no one left there to sell ads to and their circulation is nil because there's no one left to circulate to. Baton Rouge may end up becoming a two paper city. <BR/><BR/>It has been very surreal until today. As the reality sets in, people are starting to worry about the wide-spread effects. An awful lot of New Orleans supplied an awful lot of other places.BarefootCajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960018125640941576noreply@blogger.com
