It's obvious that those who are left have not yet sickened enough of the mire they're in to wish for change, and at this point, trying to effect change is akin to beating one's head against a brick wall. I'd like to believe that they'll pull out of it with the next elections - but it sure looks to me at this point as though that's really wishful thinking. Guess we'll just have to wait and see . . .

I’d like to believe that they’ll pull out of it with the next elections – but it sure looks to me at this point as though that’s really wishful thinking.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see . . .

Kevin is correct when he says "May God help us all"... No Hope For NOLA?

Sounds alot like the same sort of cycle Canada is stuck in. Kevin is correct when he says “May God help us all”…

As for Nagin's attitude, I notice he said "the economic pie is going to explode". Hopefully, the aftermath will be handled better than Katrina's. Renee has the right attitude.

The solution to the corrupt political system from which all the tragic and inept handling of the Katrina fiasco stems is not to leave the state. Stay. Point your finger and say "The emperor has no clothes! If you don't like the way the elected officials handle things, VOTE THEM OUT. This is a wonderful state with fabulous people, food, weather, music, and natural resources. It is an embarassment to hear the idiotic statements that come out of the mouths of these people running for office. We  are human beings, many of whom are a rich blend of different  cultures and skin colors.We are not a box of candy, chocolate, or otherwise. We are people in need of a leader that is actually concerned about the welfare of those people, not the color of a particular city. So the NOLA may lose the election this time. The Governors race is still yet to come, the state CAN be saved. Talk to everyone you meet, educate them, tell them to vote with their heads, not their emotions. By the way, anybody notice the absence of whining by the victims of the OTHER hurricane? They have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, they are not worried what flavor candy they are, they're too busy taking care of themselves. Come on, you guys!

Need to get you car plates changed, license and all that. (Pay us) I just wonder why all those that took refuge, for what ever reason, are not now residents of the state they are getting their check in? Sure Texas and all the others have very similiar laws. Absentee voting is "root for you new home state", is it not? harrell I know in the state of La., if you are a resident for 6 months, getting mail and such, you are a resident of that state.

In November I gave CNN copies of video shot by an Orleans Parish Prison Deputy of what occured in the jail from August 28th through September 1. IN December we made the video and still available to dozens of news outlets including the Times Picayune and the Houston Chronicle - not even a phonecall back. In January we contacted the ACLU and gave them a DVD copy of some of the footage, they again gave copies to CNN and other national news organizations - nothing has been aired yet, but to this day the same news organizations claim it to be "rumor" that the guards and prisoners were abandoned - they know better, they've seen the truth. When did the news stop being the news?? Look at the video yourself, 10 minutes of it is at: http://www.refugeoflastresort.net/. James L.

Here's hoping that those who have voted are those with a modicum of common sense.
