Blaming the President, liberals, or gays is counter productive. And, at this point, I think the only thing to blame is water. And we can't control that. It's just silly to start pointing the finger, that's connected to a hand that could pick up a shovel or something and start working to help.
The looters shooting up at the rescue helicopters and helicopters bringing supplies should be shot on site. They are causing bodies that could be helping get people off their roofs to be diverted to keeping the peace. It's pathetic and they don't deserve to live.
I find it kind of absurd to say that blaming Bush is pathetic, but blaming the liberals is not.
Seems to me that it was hurricane. These things happen.
What is truly sad is that people see this catastrophe, and blame someone for it, rather than trying to figure out how to help.
I, too, was angry at the looting, but then I saw some of the looters. A camera man said, "why did you just loot Walmart?" The man lifted his feet, which were barefoot, and said, "Look at me!! I have nothing!! I don't even have shoes! I have no money, no food, no shelter, and I walking all over with houses smashed all over, so I at least need shoes!"
Is it ok? No. But everything is taking a long time, they have no water, no power, it's hot, and so in desparation and frustration, many people not even knowing where their family is, have turned violent.
I think nature is to blame, and nothing else.
But it is now up to all of us to do something about it.
