last i heard was from the news and many were still living in trailers but there has got to be alot of snakes for them, with all the flooding i could imagine some water snakes and cottonmouths increasing in population.
bush needs to do something.......... still, he has not payed any attention to new orleans, to busy with iraq, but let's not get into politics.
best regards,

Chris, what more could Bush do? If anyone is to blame it could be FEMA due to lack of command in the field. We have sunk a good amount of money into the affected areas already. I would not put the sole blame on the Bush administration for that. Maybe some help would of got there a bit faster if it wasn't for all the looting and actual citizens shooting at rescue helicopters with AK-47's as it showed on the news. But like usual, the media shares the one sided version.

now i'm not saying that it's just bush but if he sent some of the troops there, the people wouldn't be looting and shooting guns but unless you want to make a new worst enemy, i suggest we stop this conversation now because if we don't i will never stop. i did not mean to upset anyone, just sharing my veiws.
best regards,
chris hartmann

Let's not get carried away here.
You guys are doing the same thing that every politician did during and immediately after Katrina. Instead of discussing ways to better support the immediate and longterm needs of the community, people waste time pointing fingers. Fact is that there is probably not a single politician who was involved on some level that does not share some of the blame. Some moreso than others.
While life around the New Orleans area has returned to some degree of normalcy, it is far from what it once used to be. The entire eastern half of the city remains devastated, and the rebuilding efforts there have been very limited, to say the least. However, tourists will likely notice little difference, as the historic French Quarter and CBD were largely spared.
The comment "...but there has got to be alot of snakes for them" seems ironic at best, as snakes are unlikely to help you rebuild your home and life. Television images tend to have a strong aspect of surrealism, so it is unsurprising that many people are not grasping the magnitude of that catastrophe and others. I would urge anyone who lives within a potential natural disaster zone to have the proper protocols and insurance coverage at hand, as this will make your life decidedly easier when such a scenario does occur.
