Now, let's all keep in mind that New Orleans is below sea level as is the Superdome, so why would that even be thought of as a decent place for a shelter?? What were they thinking?! And I've seen some of the pictures of the babies down there...there's no way that they could be at that point of starvation in that short amount of time. People dying of disease??? I mean WTF?
I just don't get it...
And I apologize for raving.

Poor people LOTS AND LOTS OF POOR PEOPLE, sick people, old people, people who stayed to protect their homes, people who didn't grasp the danger, people who couldn't leave for reasons beyond their choice. Sure some people made a poor choice in judgment, but considering they might ALL die in the next few days by the thousands without water and food it doesn't matter if they could have left or not.
