It's an absolute disgrace that this went on in our country and they deserve to get their lives back. The lives they lost when Katrina hit. I totally understand your point with the relocation dollars, rent, etc...but it's not about that. It's about New Orleans. It's about pride, and it's about the right thing to do.

I live in the middle of Upstate, NY. Upstate received a record amount of Lake Effect snowfall duiring a four day period this past winter. I'm not going to equate this to what happened in New Orleans, but let me tell you something....It was bad. People were without power, utilities, and couldn't get to the store. Why? NO roads. Have you seen the pictures?? It was REAL BAD. Did they complain?? No. WHY? These people are not lazy. They look out for one another. Was there looting? None. Why? They wouldn't. You take these same people from New Orleans and put them in this environment. It would be just like the flood. Now, as I said before, I feel bad for the elderly and the disabled, but being fat and lazy is not a disability.
