African Americans are going to see this Hurricane as proof positive that White Americans in general and the Bush administration in particular don't care about them. Frankly, I wouldn't blame them a bit for believing it. Given the enormous amount of emperical evidence before us, I'd say they would be correct. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://thecitizens.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="">Raised By Republicans</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1125681535723432432005-09-02T10:18:00.000-07:002005-09-02T10:18:00.000-07:00Forgive me for not trusting them.

They said they were going to put it into relief efforts for 9/11 and be more up front next time that they have long-term needs. I doubt they have a segregated Katrina fund. Their website does not indicate this. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>Law Talking GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1125679366347299612005-09-02T09:42:00.000-07:002005-09-02T09:42:00.000-07:00I know there were some problems with the Red Cross...I know there were some problems with the Red Cross' handling of 9/11 donations, but I thought they addressed that and returned all the funds.

In 9/11, you remember, they took all these donations then pocketed them. There has been no promise to spend every dime on New Orleans this time. <BR/><BR/>We have donated to two national religious-based charities, both of whom have solid track records, low overhead, and boots on the ground now. (American Friends Service Cmte and Episcopal Relief Fund). There are plenty of others (secular too, of course) worth donating to. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>LTGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1125553068155932702005-08-31T22:37:00.000-07:002005-08-31T22:37:00.000-07:00Not to be insensitive, but we will also pay in hig...Not to be insensitive, but we will also pay in higher insurance premiums and at the gas pump. The Gulf Coast has some of the biggest ports in the country (which makes you wonder where all the profit from those ports goes).<BR/><BR/>And I'd like you all to notice that the CNN coverage isn't showing that many white people in trouble. I am not sure what the racial ratios of New Orleans are, but the victims sure look poor and black. And that takes me to something I heard on NPR on Monday. They were interviewing a local teacher about his plans for evacuation. He said he was planning on taking his family to the Super Dome. When asked why he wasn't leaving town with his family, he said that to leave town you needed two things, money and a car. I guess unlike California, not everyone in New Orleans has a car. He mentioned that he had given money to some of the families of his students for gas. I totally didn't get it at the time. But yes, it is a poor place. And $40 for a tank of gas is a lot of money.<BR/><BR/>Someone on CNN said, "my it looks like a 3rd world country. Did you ever thing you would see such a thing in a major American city? Well, gee, there is a reason it looks like a 3rd world country. There are parts of this country that are 3rd world! Tells you something about who is doing the reporting and how often they get out.<BR/><BR/>There was also denial. On Monday, the reporter on NPR raised the possibility of the levy breaking and was told that was a long shot. And when he pointed out that Katrina was a Level 4-5 hurricane and that the levy was built to handle a Level 3 at best, the response was flippant. It was like, "oh well, we can't imagine it happening. So it won't. And if it does, we'll deal with it then."<BR/><BR/>And then, you don't have national guard or troops because they are all deployed in Iraq trying to bring power and water to Baghdad. Watch how nervous Bush gets now. Iraq is off the front page, but what the government does at home is suddenly the focus of attention. No one wants "big government" nor do they want to pay taxes. But at the first chance, they run to the federal government for the money.<BR/><BR/>And while all of this was going on, there were some major news events elsewhere. The F.D.A.'s head of the office of women's health resigned in protest over a decision to delay approving over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill. Let's not forget that news nugget.  <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>USWestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1125526912584391992005-08-31T15:21:00.000-07:002005-08-31T15:21:00.000-07:00There's a great song I know, by the way, about a p...There's a great song I know, by the way, about a pregnant teenager in a midwest floodplain who knows she can't afford the kid or anything else that's become part of her bleak life. Got pregnant, guy ran out on her, etc. These are genuine calamities, and nobody offers any help. By contrast, floods happen regularly, "but they always find money for floods." <BR/><BR/>It is worth asking why the same people who won't give a hand up to people in need scream for FEMA if their business is threatened by a natural disaster they knew could happen. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>Law Talking GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1125526547383012262005-08-31T15:15:00.000-07:002005-08-31T15:15:00.000-07:00I, too, am angry that a city below sea level had n...I, too, am angry that a city below sea level had no go-to plan for what to do if the whole place were flooded. The Gulf Coast is not only a poor area, but an area with political allergies to taxes and public spending. As usual, the federal government will help out (with blue state money, of course). <BR/><BR/>Dr. Strangelove is also correct about California's danger, but I think by contrast CA has done quite a bit to ameliorate any future disaster. Building codes and new technologies have made dramatic changes.  <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>Law Talking GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
