ok, I guess going to the site is too much trouble. Had you gone, you would have seen photos I have taken from chalmette to gulfport. My point was that there is still work to be done there, and this christmas, send a buck or two to the red cross. Remember the people still living in tents down there. Yes, still in tents. Thanks FEMA. I thought you would go see the pictures and get the point. I'm sorry, the last two presidential elections should have taught me not to overestimate you all!

we need to help in any way possible. We are not talking about just a few Americans that were affected by Katrina, we are talking about hundreds of thousands of citizens. To make matters worse, These people were not in a well to do area to begin with so you can safely say they last everything and more. So, why not help them? You would want the federal government to help you if you had been displaced from your home by something as horrible as Katrina right? So why even ask if they deserve help-just demand help!

I think they do. I mean its not their fault that a hurrican destroyed their homes and all. I think that we should try to help them as much as possible. Giving can be much more enjoyable then recieving and helping others that really need the help especially around this time of the year is important and everyone needs help now and then.
On the other hand I do think there comes a time when people over use the help and helper. For example if the Katrina victims are still begging for "money" basically then I think that someone should step in and tell them that we have helped them long enough and that they need to "get a job". I do think that they need help with housing assistance, but I also think that they need help getting jobs. What I mean by this is that they need people helping them get jobs. There is plenty of work out there you just have to look for it.

First - can you cite statistics please, specifically as to the demographics of the Katrina victims remaining without housing or jobs? Second - you seem to be insinuating that the katrina victims are less worthy than the illegal immigrants and I would submit that you are probably being a little judgmental there. Immigrants are full of hope ready to try for a new life; Katrina victims have lost all of what little they had and have no idea where to turn next.

OK I hear one guy that got a fema check is now a chick. Why give more to them. They have Bourbon street open. Quit blaming the government. Think about it, Where was the mayor?. And where is he now.these people was stealing guns and shooting people rather than helping their neighbor. If I knew I lived below sea level and they told me a big storm was coming I would walk out if I had to. I know there were good people there. But the USA raked together thousand upon thousands of dollars and sent there. Get off this one and find something new

Im not quite sure what you mean by has it been long enough? But yes I believe they ALL are entitled to housing assistance and whatever assistance they can get their hands on and what they spend it on is their business also. Those people have been through a traumatic event and lost alot of loved ones and memories.

It is criminal the way FEMA, under the leadership of the current administration, has abandoned the American citizens, whose lives were devastated by Katrina. Where are the outraged patriotic conservatives?

How about before I answer... 3 days before Christmas, I pause to consider the character of somebody who seems to find displeasure that in the fact that disaster victims might obtain some assistance and charity?
Merry Christmas.

Whenever we have considered purchasing a home, we investigated to see if the house was in a flood plain, previous deeds and potential easements and right-aways, mineral rights, location of buildings in relationship to the boundaries, etc. If a person purchases a house below sea level or in a known flood plain, why should I have to pay for their folly, it was their decision?
Is "below sea-level" such a difficult concept?
