I'm listening to a tape of the mayor of New Orleans being interviewed by phone from last night on CNN, cussing a blue streak about what is NOT happening. Somewhere between 15,000 and 50,000 people are marooned at the Convention Center in New Orleans with no food, no water, no sanitary facilities, no medical attention, no INFORMATION. Most of them have been there since Wednesday; the media has repeatedly reported on their plight. Babies and old people and sick people are dying of dehydration because they don't even have WATER. And the head of FEMA last night claimed the feds didn't know anything about them. That is just *criminal* incompetence. > No matter how big the government it can't protect > everyone from natural disaster That isn't even the issue now. The issue is that many tens of thousands of people are in a desperate emergency life-and-death situation and NO ONE IS HELPING THEM. And it's not just in New Orleans, of course, it's up and down the Gulf Coast. There's more coverage of New Orleans because the disaster is so much more highly concentrated there. ------------------------ Yahoo!
