It seems to me that she's just trying to live life now. She's not putting out CDs and she's not doing concerts. So why won't the press just leave the girl alone. I know they bother bother everyone but it seems they focus a little more attention on her. I just thought it was kind of strange.

The hurricane is gone! Send them homeless sponges back to New Orleans and save your city. The crime wave in Houston is the reason our city residents stormed a city meeting when our city leaders consdiered offering shelters to the leeches from New orleans. We could see nothing but trouble and we said " no way!" and thankfully oru leaders listened. Now, why doesn Houston send the riff raff back to N.O. and clean the town back up?

NEW ORLEANS, United States (AFP) - The chaos following Hurricane Katrina showed millions of Americans that deep racial divides, poverty and racism persist in their country.

Images of seas of black faces begging for help that took days to arrive, and stories of sheriffs from adjacent white suburbs turning desperate evacuees away at gunpoint as they tried to flee New Orleans, horrified the nation.

But for many who grew up in a city that had hosted the slave trade and clung to segregation, the initial shock was transformed into fury that their deepest fears and suspicions were true: the government does not care about black people.

"The racism is so raw here," said Barbara Major, a community activist who co-chaired Mayor Ray Nagin's Bring New Orleans Back commission.

"People were outraged that people were dying. People been dying," she said. "They should have been outraged that children didn't get a decent education. That there wasn't decent housing here (just) like in every other city in the United States."

More than 140 years after the abolition of slavery, and more than 40 years since the passage of the civil rights act, New Orleans remained a highly segregated city. Blacks held significant political power, but economic power remained the domain of whites.

Poverty was widespread, as those educated in crumbling public schools were stuck in the low-wage service sectors that supported the city's massive tourist industry. Drugs, gangs and violence were rampant.

I'm real curious...does anyone have any idea what a slappingfox is? Does it have any intelligence? Is it cheaper or deaper than a breadbox? Is it a Disease? Why does it have such a low IQ?
Is it because of it's natural blonde color? What species is it?
Is it rascist? Is it political or just a void space in this world? Please
i'm really wondering what it is?

So, approximately one half of them may be destroyed within 7-8 years. And some are old. Still, they are a threat .... That still leaves over 3,000 nuclear weapons in our own backyards.
Hummmm. I guess that's enough to scare even those of us who live in the United States.
Much less our enemies.

I would like to copy an image or video still from the CBS EVENING NEWS of a guy that was interviewed today AUGUST 28, 2006, in NEW ORLEANS. His name is Robert Thompson. He looks just like a friend of mine that lives in New Mexico. I want to compare this image to pictures I have of my friend. But I can't copy a picture for the video feed. Is there a way? The image of this guy can be found at CBSNEWS.com, go to cbs evening news video section and look for "President Bush tours New Orleans", the story was covered by reporter Jim Axelrod. The image is towards the end of the feed, he's the guy with the grey beard and t-shirt sitting down outside. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
