Yes.. I can see your scientific arguement... You get a standing ovation from me for being a hypocrite.


As for Civil war in 2005... here's my perspective that it took place..

I see 2005 as a real eye opener to how the US citizens felt hopeless and lost during a time where they needed help and support from a governing body that is set up to help it's citizens....

Katrina formed on August 23 during the 2005

TENS OF THOUSANDS TRAPPED IN SUPERDOME; CONDITIONS DETERIORATE: “A 2-year-old girl slept in a pool of urine. Crack vials littered a restroom. Blood stained the walls next to vending machines smashed by teenagers. ‘We pee on the floor. We are like animals,’ said Taffany Smith, 25, as she cradled her 3-week-old son, Terry. … By Wednesday, it had degenerated into horror. … At least two people, including a child, have been raped. At least three people have died, including one man who jumped 50 feet to his death, saying he had nothing left to live for. There is no sanitation. The stench is overwhelming.”" [Los Angeles Times, 9/1/05]

3,000 STRANDED AT CONVENTION CENTER WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER: “With 3,000 or more evacuees stranded at the convention center — and with no apparent contingency plan or authority to deal with them — collecting a body was no one’s priority. … Some had been at the convention center since Tuesday morning but had received no food, water or instructions.” [Times-Picayune]

23rd — THOUSANDS REMAIN MISSING: Nearly three months after Katrina hit, the National Center for Missing Adults says over 6,500 people are unaccounted for in the hurricane’s wake. In addition, “more than 400 bodies remain unidentified.” [ABC News, 11/23/05]

A blogger in Oklahoma posts her acount of delivering goods to an isolated FEMA facility for Hurricane Katrina survivors which feels to her more like a detainment camp than a shelter.

Jesse Jackson was right when he said "refugees" was not the appropriate word for the poor souls dislocated due to Katrina. But he was wrong about why it is not appropriate. It's not appropriate because they are detainees, not refugees.

WASHINGTON — Victims of Hurricane Katrina told Congress on Tuesday that they were held at gunpoint, treated like criminals and left to sleep next to dead bodies because the government at all levels failed to protect them as they tried to escape flooding waters.

"We slept next to dead bodies. We slept on streets ... next to human feces and urine," she said. "The way we were treated by police was demoralizing and inhuman. They made everybody lie on the ground with their hands on their heads, even babies."
