Well let me throw another kink in this. Yes everyone knew about Katrina and NewOrleans but what about all those towns in Mississippi just to the east of the eye of the storm that were totally destoyed. You didn't hear much from them because they got up off their ass and did what needed to be done to get their life back. Yea you also didn't hear much about Rita either because everybody was so involved in Katrina cause it hit the BIG CITY. Well let me tell you I live in southwest louisiana and it was bad. I was fortunate but I had relatives lose everything and friends at work the same. These people also got up off their ass and did what needed to be done to get their life back to as normal as possible. They didn't sit around with their hand out waiting on freebies! Nothing personal topcat but I know first hand what these folks up north mean. I see it here now that we have been flooded with a lot of the filth that was in New Orleans. Our crime rate has skyrocketed. I wish to hell they would go back! I feel for the hard working folks in Iowa and I pray that the goverment will step in and help them out like they should.
