No argument from me at all. You're spot on.

As for the people that still refuse to leave, where the hell are they going to go? If you think that Houston, Baton Rouge or any other city wants a bunch of poor, homeless, uneducated people filling their streets, that's just totally unrealistic.

Not only that, Kimmy. There's a lot of serious sick people (physically I mean) basically trapped in their homes and without medicine. Relatives can't get into town and rescue agencies are ignoring their calls. Only CNN listened and said, we'll get back to you on Tuesday, it's a holiday weekend.

If they're not out walking the streets, they apparently do not exist.

And supposedly goverment officials and (sigh) the media are playing things up (last I heard) that because the Dome has been evacuated, the all of NO has been evacuated too. Which isn't the case. And a lot of those people in their homes aren't even necessarily the impoverished.

A lot are middle class elderly who could handle themselves alright when there was a city around them, the grocer boy down the street to deliver food, the pharmacy down the block to give them their medicines, etc.

Just heard from a friend's sister who lives in NO.

The water is going down, but they have alligators swimming around outside eating dead bodies?!?!?!
