New Orleans, La. was NOT the only devastated area of Louisiana. We, in rural Louisiana, feel that the media concentrated fully on covering New Orleans and neglected many more citizens of the Gulf Coast who were left with NOTHING. What is your opinion?

I do feel that not only my area, but all others were alienated from relief because New Orleans was the focus of the media. Popularity should have nothing to do with helping all of humanity when it is most needed.

I agree with you completely. The reason you were ignored is because you most likely tried to do something to help yourselves, instead of demanding the government do it for you, then rioting and complaining. New Orleans is the result of people lacking any motivation to help themselves or to even remove themselves from harm's way, because they think it's the government's responsibility to do everything for them. My sympathies are with those victims who deserved help and got none..

I feel this was done because New Orleans is the most popular city. Do you feel that your area has been left out of relief efforts because of this?

i'm continually inquisitive about technique of the concept God is a few type of puppeteer, controlling and micro-dealing with each adventure in the international for some certain payback, and so on. Did God "approve" of the activities of 9/11? Is that why they were valuable? Does God disapprove of the U.S. conflict in Iraq? Is that why it truly is so unsuccessful? Does God have a good time with the angels even as organic mess united stateskill small children, mentally sick human beings, the starving, the homeless.....God-fearing Republicans? possibly.....yet when so, might want to that be a God worth of understand, love or devotion?

I agree that it was unfair to single out just one city in Louisiana. I don't think the media spent enough time investigating what happened in the surrounding areas.

Out of everyone that got the short end of the stick, the major city which happenes to be a tourist attraction, got the most exposure.

I think initially this was true, but everyone was brought up to
speed later.
