" Why the **** should I help people who don't want to help themselves. "

I was involved the day I heard this was as serious as it is. Ive already arranged bands, artists, businesses, radio stations, etc in the lex area to sponsor a relief event where 100% of proceeds will go to the hurricane aid program. When refugees make it this far up, then you better believe my *** will be there to help out.

Im not bickering and whining, im ****ing pissed off, but that doesnt mean I'm not doing anything to help. ****, many people and even other countries have offered help and got turned away. Shit is rediculous man.

maybe u dont understand that.....NOONE can help outside of state unless the STATE requests it. the president cannot say "sure come on and send some troops over to help us" or whatever he may ask for. the STATE HAS TO ask for gocernment help outside of its own being. which was said, but u must of read everything except that.

no, I do understand that, but the fact of the matter is that we could have been more prepared. why wasnt the state requesting help when Nagin was SCREAMING for it, even before the hurricane hit. i realize that nobody expected the hurricane to cause this much damage, but they knew for a fact it was coming to **** some serious shit up. do you remember every single news channel covering the storm before it hit? do you remember what they were saying about it was going to be one of the most devistating storms ever to hit the US? Now, I dont know about you, but if you put two and two together its pretty much expected that NOLA and its surroundings are seriously going to get shit on. You mean to tell me that we shouldnt have already prepared for this? come on man, you're smarter than that...or at least I would hope so.

I agree with the perpairing part, but again it was the governer of Louisiana's responcibility to prepair. Not the national government. Hopefully this incident will make the governments, state and national, prepair better for the future of our country and disasters.

It is neither the governments nor the state of Louisiana's problem that a hurricane hit.

People need to rebuild on thier own.

If you can't or don't have the financial means to relocate, too bad.

.. only bad part is around 150,000 of the people in lower LA only made $8,000 a year, and now these people might stay in TX..

Ahahahaha you can keep saying that all you want. No one listens to the truth anymore. Blame bush, blame the government, blame foreigners...

Even all the while Nagin was screaming with the reporter. he kept on asking. Has the governor asked for help? He kept saying I don't know?

I think America should be mad at the governor duh...

Just a penny for my thought please

thats right, but the sad part is that it takes something like this to make people realize. we always say "oh that would never happen" and then it does and nobody can really do anything about it anymore.

and by the way Im not blaming any one person for anything...i just think its a bad situation as a whole.

Well - I can speak from personal dissatisfaction when I say that Governor Blanco is the consumate politician and nothing more. She's all about keeping up appearances and making the lobbies happy so they'll keep giving her $$$. She wouldn't have the common sense to prepare for a common cold even if she had a calendar showing the exact date of its arrival.

I didn't vote for her in our most recent governor's race and should she run for re-election at the end of her term I will not vote for her then either.

Yep. I am kinda glad it happened, i only wish that the USA didnt loose 100k+ in lives.
