I think that it is time to get off of this subject if it is going to turn into political bashing. The state of Lousiana is majorally democrats. We have a republican president. Who is to blame? the president of the united states? the governor of Lousiana? the mayer of New Orleans? or perhaps Nature? This was a horrific catastrophic natural disaster that no one - no politically party, no human being could have been prepared for or could have jumped in and saved the day in a short period of time. It is very easy to look back and say this or that should have happened first or second, but I'm sure if you are down there trying to prioritize it is very difficult. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. They thought for a little while immediately after the hurricane that they were safe - then the levies broke. I have a end who lost her home. She is not blaming the president - or the governor or the mayer. she is not blaming them that the water is still in her home - that they haven't come up with a miracle to make it all better instantly. She is an emotional mess - but she lives there - she knows that any rescue missions or deaths because people chose to go into their attics are not to be politically blamed. Cris It says the private hospital is/was better funded and better prepared for situations such as this. Get used to it. Taking care of our people is a very low priority within the Republican party and Bush administration and even amongst some of the Democrats. -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
