So sad to see the demise of a beautiful city. I have been fortunate to have visited this city at its prime, and I feel so disheartened seeing some of the memorable sites on television in destruction. My heart goes out to the stranded victims of New Orleans. I also can't help but shake my head hearing and watching the taped footage of looting, fires being started and shooting at the very people trying to help them out. Havent these people heard the old attage you dont bit the hand that feeds you? I would only hope that these people try to realize the enormous obsticles our nations military, the Red Cross, FEMA and its volunteers are facing just trying to get to this disaster site. Now I am hearing about Race being an issue for the delay in aid. I was wondering just last night how long before the race card gets pulled out. Yes, these are mostly black poor people that are suffering through this. Yes, I understand the means for them to be able to flee were a huge, if not, the only factor they had. How can you not think that race is an issue when you see nothing but black people on the televison footage? I hope that people stop and think for a minute before jumping to any conclusions. New Orleans is a city that is predominately black to begin with, sadly a good number of them live below the poverty line. I cant even begin to understand the desperate measures that these people are facing, and I cant blame these people for breaking into buildings and stealing food and water, diapers, formula and so on. I saw a older couple pushing a shopping card through 2 feet of water with a huge TV! What in the heck are you going to do with a TV without any power? Keep this up and the government will be forced to enact Marshall Law. I am sure that the living situtations in the Super Dome are just terrible...as bad as that is I think these people need to thank god that they are still alive.
