Thank you for the link to the pictures, JB. That was a really awesome slide show.
After viewing the photos, I realize why the rescue effort took a couple of days to get going -- at least in New Orleans. Downtown New Orleans looked basically okay immediately after the storm hit. It didn't start flooding there until Day 4, and I'm sure most in "authority" felt it was going to be fine. The people who were in the city obviously felt that all was well. The rescuers diverted their efforts to other, harder hit areas. It really is a shame to see how things happened.
I can't even begin to comment on the racial issues.

I don't even know what to think about this little item:
We had to kill our patients

| Doctors working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. |
I can understand why these medical professionals did what they did. I just don't know if I could do the same thing.

I was in a hurricane in Tonga in 2002, an unexpected surprise ushering the new year. I was on one of the outer islands at a family reunion but I know that although it was scary but my family had the assurance that we would survive. Although we were victims that year but I could not imagine the heartache and the loss of loved ones of Katrina survivors. At school as part of international news time, it was very hard to explain things to 6 year olds..but parents have allowed these children to view images on the news and these 6 year olds were very sad and really wanted to do all that they could to help. It may take a while but I know that the people of New Orleans will rebuild their city and return home!

While Katrina has brought out the best in a lot of people, the thousands and even millions who have gone out of their way to help, it has also brought the absolute worst out from others. Here is a blog post of some of the worst, most despicable things people have been saying since the hurricane:

Not all of these despicable things come from Democrats or Leftists. I condemn the conservatives and Republicans for their callousness as well.

There are more. The original list is 20 of these. Then there is a bonus from Louis Farrakhan.
