You're in MS. The actual center of the storm. We never hear about you and I'm sure most of the fund raising by politicians and celebs gets poured into New Orleans, not Mississippi or anywhere else hit by hurricanes. I'm just tired of the sympathy campaign for New Orleans. They have received more money than any other place that was hit by a natural disaster and are still asking for more.
I have a ton if respect for the people of Mississippi after the hurricane. They never complained, never asked for Government and taxpayer handouts and in fact, were better prepared because they're not electing corrupt people to spend the levee money on everything BUT safety.
Seriously, every time I am watching football and they start talking about the Saints and Katrina, I always (often out loud) ask "What about Mississippi, or Florida?"
I understand it WAS devastating to a lot of people, but the actions of some in New Orleans afterward and then electing the same people who almost cost them their lives...it's tough to feel as much pity for them.
