at the new orleans convention center at the time the hurricane struck...what if that center had been filled with little white blond pony tailed cheerleaders from all over the united states...do u think they would be still waiting and starving and dying there...lets get this racial issue in perscpective. these people were left to die there because they are poor and black.

10. geez..one girl dissappears in Aruba....

and reaction is immediate...and constant! But..oh yeah..she was white and upper class...we find a way to "rescue" when it is the "right" kind of people....otherwise..too many problems..just impossible to do...they can wait..lets pretend they are canned goods..that we can warehouse...and just leave there...oh..gosh..darn...they are people that now need to be fed...no decent shelf life...well they can wait..just tell them to be patient.

9. If 1,000 white blonde pony-tailed cheerleaders were missing or in danger

it would have resulted in at least the media focus and furor over Natalie Holloway or Elizabeth Smart times 1,000. It's a sad commentary on American society and values in the 21st Century.
