September 01, 2005New OrleansI am appalled and sicked by the tragedy in New Orleans and the Gulf States area. Particularly at what seems to be a bungled effort on the part of FEMA and the Bush Administration to get off their butts and help the people there. What has happened to the poor folks stranded at the Superdome is beyond comprehension.It sure does seem like there is serious discrimination going on. If there were 25000 people stuck in the San Diego Sports Arena, or Madison Square Garden in New York, or, well, take your pick of venues around the nation, would the same situation be happening? Are all the delays strictly logistical or due to flooded conditions impeding access, or is there more to it, as in, these people chose to stay, now they should suffer the consequences? I just don't understand the treatment that these fellow United States citizens are having to endure. Why must the mayor practically beg for help? I don't understand.
