It is supposed to be a free country. If one wants to wait out the storm then that is their free choice which is given to them by God. Not people that judge when they should or shouldn't leave.

I guess its hard for others that don't know what is like to only have so much and what you have spent your entire life working for is on the line. Some people either by braveness or stupidity will never their home no matter how bad things get. Just a fact of life.
WHO created the mess. It was NOT the federal gubment's job to evacuate or plan the evacuation. PLEASE stop with the dis/mis information. Louisiana and New Orleans CREATED the process and plan. It was STATE and LOCAL policy not Federal Policy.

Most of the initial mess was solely created by Blanco and Nagin....PERIOD. They ordered the evacuation to the superdome.

But hey, it was all Bush's fault.

Oh, and had those FREAKING IDIOTS obeyed the governments request to evacuate the would not be DEAD.......so, all in all, the whole freakin mess was created by their own inaction.

Personal responsibility........
