So we singed the rental agreement today and we move into our place tomorrow. Our stuff gets delivered on Friday. We ended up not having to pay a deposit, so that helps us out a ton.
Yes, Chris. I've been watching the news recently and have seen what you've seen. What hasn't been mentioned, at least from what I've seen, is that most of the dead people and ones being rescued are blacks who couldn't get to the Superdome (A.K.A., Deathtrap) by any means or do anything. They didn't have cars or any sort of transportation, and they're doing it now, but I don't know why they didn't use buses to transport them out of there prior to the hurricane when they issued the initial evacuation notice.
What was stupid, also, is that they showed the back up on the interstate of the cars leaving town and the inbound traffic was basically nothing; a few cars heading in for some reason. Why didn't they just close the inbound traffic, save a lane for the few cars heading in that direction, and open the rest to the outbound traffic. They could've easily sped the evacuation process up a whole lot.
Argh!!!! I'm outs. Be back in a while.

Not only was the evacutation poorly planned, but there was a lot of talk over the liberal news waves that the evacuation was a class issue. The rich could afford to get out and the poor were left to die. Some conservative pundits even went so far as to blame the inhabitants of such areas for their own stupidity of deciding to live in a place where they knew there were risks.
"But my problem with it is that, in some of these areas, like a below- sea-level city like New Orleans, they're not -- they want the rest of us to insure their risk. As people who live on the San Andreas Fault in California, where they know there are going to be earthquakes, people who live along the Mississippi River in these low farmland areas ... near the river, the floodplains. They know they're going to flood. And when these things happen, they want the taxpayers all over the country to pay, and they do." - Fred Barnes
They even had the nerve to laugh at the hurricane victims while they did their newscast on Fox.
