Ok, this is gonna sound a little crass, but, does anyone else see paralells with "Escape from LA" and "Escape from New York" ? Cities in Anarchy under mob rule with the authorities unable to maintain law and order and where guns and crime are rife ?

The more I watch this escallate on the news, the angrier I get with how america treats people.

It said on tv today that there are parts of New Orleans where even the National Guard wont go !!!

Here's a blog from the Astrodome which has now stopped taking in refugees, it's full to capacity:

Conditions there are deteriorating rapidly.

And the other blog from the datacentre if you missed it:

I've just been watching a reporter on News 24 who's been at other national disasters (earthquakes and so on) in the "Third World", and he was almost incoherent trying to explain how much worse this one is being handled. The guy was practically lost for words.

Dude relax. He is not being Xenophobic. He has a good point.

I thought USA was all for Spreading and sharing freedom. And giving Other people a chance to live happy and "normal" lives.

If what Matrix is saying is true;

It said on tv today that there are parts of New Orleans where even the National Guard wont go !!! Shocked

Then that just shows US policy is backwards

And here's me thinking it was a sobering reminder that you're always >.< far away from your base human instincts.

No matter how tall your ivory tower may be, the only thing that keeps you civilised is being *safe* in your home, having a code of conduct to adhere to and some sort of normality to cling on to.

Take that away, and bumph. Welcome to the jungle, my friend.

And you know, natural disasters could happen to any one of us - no matter how far above sea level or how safe you think you are.

Might be an idea for a few people in this thread to ponder that for a few minutes whilst gloating over other peoples misfortune and deaths.

Living on this planet is a dangerous thing, no matter where you're situated.

First time for everything.

Flush out your headgear, new guy. You think we waste gooks for freedom?

FUBAR.

From that blog:

"There's rumors of cannibalism floating around. Heard anything?"

Also, there's NO SIGN of any troops yet:

During the recon, I spoke to some Federal Marshalls and NOPD. Morale is LOW. Very low. They're not seeing the military presence they say they were promised. I told those guys they can't possibly imagine how much we (the world) appreciate their dedication. I asked what civil rights the citizens have and the US Marshalls looked at me like I just fell off the turnip truck and chuckled. I asked if citizens can have guns for protection and he said if someone thinks he needs a gun, he should have already evacuated. He also said they are setting the city on fire.

Words can't express..

Shame you didn't. You might have spelled it properly.

Evidently he popped down to your level for a second. You should be grateful.
