Rita - I can only agree with all you wrote regarding the Katrina tragedy in New Orleans. What especially caught my attention is your response to the comment by some official stating that people should have listened to the advice to get out - and not linger behind. Really!!!! Those so quick to criticize, should for one moment imagine that they own NO car - NO money - no friends or relatives who could come for them,etc.etc. How coujld they p;ossibly get out?? No way! They simply did what they had to do, namely, get out and wander the streets in hope of having some assistance from someone - somewhere. It is incredibly sad - - - Olly
And do we know what percentage of those "who choose" to stay had no means to get out?
If they "choose" to stay then they had a means to leave. Very few had no choice.
Unfortunately there was very poor city planning for a disaster, otherwise the few that couldn't leave would have left on these buses before Katrina got there: http://makeashorterlink.com/?U27821ABB
