another interesting aspect I've not seen mentioned....
what about the rich people who where staying at the hotels, who chose not to leave? They had money, they had a place to go. If they would have left when told, they would not have had to be rescued and someone else may have been able to live!!!

1. Actually the airlines stranded a number of traverlers in NO
and no one could get a rental car.

Another FEMA fuck up. Oops, we never imagined.

2. I understand their predicament, but don't you think they could have left
anyways. My god, they were told to leave.

3. The guy who took the $1,000 cab ride to Atlanta is the smartest
of the bunch.

5. Yeah, they're obviously just STUPID
and are lazy... just WAITING for the GOVERNMENT to bail them out of their bad life choices...

They should be shot!

6. Yup. Those rich folk were stuck for the same reasons the poor were.

7. Of for crying out loud. They didn't choose "not to leave".
They were not able to rent cars, and the planes stopped flying.
HTF do you propose they should have left? Grow some wings?
