Do stay on track - the issue is whether we spend hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars on Iraqi's or whether we spend a tenth of that on
our
own
people.
(and yes, there are reports that elections are not
particularly
fair
in
LA.)
Then why did you bring up your feeling that the people of
Louisiana
are
somehow downtrodden in a way that Mississippians aren't?
Your question is nonsensical.
Obviously you don't have an answer then.
No, your question is nonsensical in this context. Your question
might
be
more appropriate in context with the US Attorneys firings that
are
in
the
news.
I see you've learned one of George Conklin's less admirable
techniques...If
someone disagrees with you or questions you further, declare the
comment/question irrelevant, drivel, or nonsensical. Nice :-)
Then suppose you detail that relevance for us?
That's what I was asking you to do.
Let's see - you want *me* to explain the relelavance of *your*
response?!
That's the sort of thing Conklin does.
No, I want you to explain why you think your feeling that the people of
New
Orleans are somehow uniquely downtrodden has anything to do with the
topic
of this threat or even this forum as a whole. And as an aside, do you
have
any direct experience of the area that was hit by Katrina to base your
reaction on?
"Feeling that the people of New Orleans are somehow uniquely downtrodden"
are YOUR words - YOU explain them.
Well, you seem to think that there is something in national policy that is
holding back the New Orleans area, yet the Mississippi Gulf Coast is _not_
being held back. So, if that is not a function of _local_ leadership, the
logical conclusion is that you believe that there is a national policy that
somehow applies to New Orleans but not in Mississippi.
"Most of the people there CANNOT help themselves - the System has made sure
of that -- and Continues to make sure of that." as you said.
What is it about "the System" that is making sure the people of New Orleans
"CANNOT" help themselves, yet is not even remotely preventing the people of
Mississippi from helping themselves?
And, you never answered my question...have you ever actually *been* to the
storm-affected area, either before or after Katrina? If not, don't you
think the eye-witness account of an actual resident might have some sort of
weight?
