“We were told don’t drink or eat in public as it could lead to a mob situation,” NBC’s Michelle Hofland said. “We were told that by sundown to get out of here.” Remember when reporters were quoted saying that during the Somolia crisis? AP Reporters in throughout Africa’s fierce civil wars that have spanned generations? …and some of the most destitute places / times in history? Kind of adds some leverage to the entire Federal managment of the “New Orleans Crisis” Oh wait, that quote is FROM the N.O. Crisis. Way to go America… That is all. -Nick ---

From the news descriptions, the things that are happening in NO are equivalant to the CIVIL WARS that have been raging in third & fourth world countries for generations. My post was simply pointing that out and asking: HOW THE FUCK CAN THIS HAPPEN IN THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. Nothing more, really.
