- I don''t understand why people affected by Katrina would still be hanging around in those terrible trailers as if expecting a miracle to happen and suddenly government housing come out of thin air for them. I don''t know, but didn''t it ever occur to any of those who''ve opted to stay behind and wait for the government to finally get its act together, to just leave and try and make a better life for themselves elsewhere, anywhere, except that horrible place where they''ve been suffering so much and for so long? People have got to stop expecting the government to get off of its you-know-what and do the right thing, since they''re clueless about what they need to do for the people. People have to pull themselves together and start doing things for themselves and only rely on themselves. Hasn''t Katrina and all these years later proved anything to the suffering in Katrina and Rita land?

- Abigail70,
Not all of us as you can read in some of these posts. And, since I said SOME, if you are not part of the some, you have nothing to worry about with my comment. By the way, I love your poor choices comment. What poor choice did these children make? - Reply to this comment
- "I''m very confused about some Republicans. They want all the children to be born, so they can have no sympathy for them alive. It''''s unfortunate. For some, Pro-life ends at birth."
Generalizations, much? I''m a republican and am strongly pro-choice. To say all those who share the ideals of one party care nothing for the lives of all children is despicable. These children are suffering because of some terribly poor choices, and all of us care. All of us.

how stupid you sound. guess what, a lot of people around the country dont own their own homes and cant afford to pay rent. but i guess anybody who doesnt is automatically screwed out of getting help? and *** near everybody in 9th owned their homes and land. - Reply to this comment
- this is unadulterated garbage. this administration, through malfeasance, allowed these trash trailers to be manufactured and sent to these unfortunates, turning an already dreadful experience into a nightmare. someone made a lot of $ on these trailers, at taxpayers expense, and our leaders turned a blind eye on the lives, health and future of these victims. i am sickened by the greed and i hope whomever is responsible is punished to the fullest extent of the law. despicable.

Of course they can''t and they never will. You can''t see something you don''t want to see, can you? - Reply to this comment

With everything, looks can be deceiving. Cheap food is fatty. This is why many poor people are fat. It''s not because they eat expensive foods. It''s because they eat cheap processed foods. Expand your mind. - Reply to this comment
- You''re doing a heckuva job, Brownie.
Everyone of the Bush minions including Bush should be locked up in FEMA trailers for six months straight. Then on to the war crime trials. - Reply to this comment

- my thoughts are this is very slow euthanization.
As soon as the government was made aware of the dangers in these trailers, they should have evacuated these people. They are not bums or trash. They are people that has had everything taken from them. and the GOVERNMENT should have taken better care of their AMERICAN CITIZENS - Reply to this comment
- By the way....who is paying for all this medical care? Nebulizers are very expensive.

I would hope that if you had a family member or friend going through this that you wouldn''t mind helping. Is it because they are strangers that everyone has an issue? Maybe if the government did a better job cleaning up the city then this would be a different story. - Reply to this comment

Many people everywhere can''t afford to buy home or rental insuance. There is no need for racist remarks from others though. - Reply to this comment

Another racist...what makes you think that you are any better then these "violent people" that you speak about?
You are nothing but a piece of trash - Reply to this comment
- How long will we hard working Americans continue to pay the way for these people that refuse to work and prefer violence as a way of supporting themselves. Do we have any politicans with any guts to stop this. Dumb question....obviously not or this free ride would have ended many years ago.

You guys just amaze me. I''m sure there are a handful of people there taking advantage of the system, but don''t pretend to know anything about the situation. Many of these people lost their homes and the insurance companies aren''t doing a d amn thing for them. Aren''t they owed at least that? They''ve paid into thier insurance plan only to receive nothing.
You are just a racist a hole that blames everyone else but yourself for todays problems. - Reply to this comment
