I know that a lot of people are discussing a lot more than this, this just seems *especially* unproductive. At least no one here is blaming the victims for not leaving, when so many of them couldn't.
I hope everyone on this thread has already donated to the Salvation Army and Red Cross.

There are a couple of threads in Chit Chat that are much bigger than this one discussing the humanitarian side of Hurricane Katrina. This thread was started just to discuss an offshoot of the major issues -- I don't think that this is anyone's primary concern. If you're more interested in the "helping" side of things, there is a discussion going on in the Red Cross thread about that.
