Unfortunately; I don't believe it matters what party you belong to. I am beginning to believe a friend who was a town major 25 years ago that stated you could not really follow God and be in politics.

Part of the problem is the mind set that drives a man to get a law degree. Generally it means the man has no technical ability what so ever. Most of us have a fixed opinion on lawyers level of honesty. Why do we think we are more honest when they run for the donkey or the elephant.

I guess I do not understand why President Bush placed a lawyer in charge of FEMMA and then expected anything other than deliberation in a time of crisis.

Back on topic NOAA has aerial pictures of the whole coast. A refugee from Long Beach who was staying next door asked me to find the her house and see what was left as she was not allowed home. I used the google earth and the NOAA pictures to find a before and after shot. It took a number of hours to pick through the photos. Pretty disheartening to look at all the mess.
We could tell the walls were up on her house but 2 doors up there was nothing but slabs. I got word today that she found the roof blown off and nothing really left. This is what I told her from my photo work.

I have seen two cases of M.D. rants over the people in N.O. Is Dr. Cracker part of the problem or part of the solution?
You are ignorant if you think you only convey information with words. I have seen the body language, black vs white, daily in MS and AL. I have seen even hard working coworkers of color stiffen up when the "man" comes to help.
How do you normally rate a MD’s arrogance? I guess I would rate it a 10 out of 10, but then I normally stiffen up as they try to talk down to me.
On the question of looting, frankly I feel it would happen anywhere in the US, with any segment of the population. Certainly the Tyco and Enron people were taking advantage of the owners, looting the store so to speak. The few managers here likely took more than all the looters in N.O.
Microsoft has not lied, cheated and manipulated the market to obtain their dominant position!! Yet many of us admire Microsoft’s success. If we took the silver spoon out of Mr. Gates mouth how would he perform?
After a lose of our house, contents and vehicle in December 99 to a fire, someone decided to come and loot the only item untouched, the $500 dollar barbeque. The person that looted the propane grill, had a truck to cart it away, so they were not truly more needy than I at that point. They just decided to take advantage of the situation and had no for the person who had just lost it all.
We need to recognize that the moral problems in American society are not a “we–they” problem. In the last year and a half I have seen corporate elite in America at work, first hand. I was lied to, cheated and physically threaten. None of this was do to absolute necessity, but because they felt their jobs might be threatened. They would rather place hundreds of people out of work than lose their elite position.
