You would think.
It's just so sad.

Well, Mr. xo_kathy thinks that FEMA has been so obsessed with tryong to plan for terrorist attacks on our major cities that they have completely stopped worrying about anything else. Probably true, and it's obviously backfired...
IN terms of the media, I was reading a NY Daily News reporters story yesterday and he pointed out that he and his photographer are down there living out of the car they are in. They have no supplies to offer and no room to fit anyone in the car. Also, they mentioned they wouldn't know where to start. If they offered help to one, there is the possibility of people getting angry and trying to car jack them - or worse.
And I sadly think lifesaver is right - if they were rich white folks, they wouldn;t still be there.
