Re: New Orleans the next Atlantis???

I so much hope that they are blowing the entire thing out of proportion. All i know is that you have several hundred thousand people homeless, jobless, unable to buy food if they even had a home. New Orleans is large poverty area. Many of these people don't have family throughout the U.S. they can even goto. If most these people were illegal aliens i would hardly give a rats ass but most of them are legal Americans that were devastated by a storm that they didn't ask for. I don't have to watch the media or hear news reports of whats going. I can't even imagine what they are going through nor do i want to. We goto work everyday, go to lunch, go home, eat supper, watch TV, kick back, sleep comfortably, etc... These Americans have absolutely nothing left to return to. Everything they had whether value or invaluable was taken from them, in some situations- family members. Just because it didn't happen in my state and thankfully to a friend or relative of mine, it still affects me because i'm a hearted American.
