I am personally getting a wee bit tired of the complaining about
Katrina. What I am seeing from here is that the rest of the country
has pitched in big time to help for 5 years now and I see a lot of the
natives sitting back waiting for someone to fix it for them. That gets
old and tired in a hurry. When I see the people of Missouri and Iowa
and North Dakota and South Dakota and Tennessee and Kentucky pitching in
and fixing up and I even see Mississippi residents doing the same, then
why can't New Orleans do the same. Instead we see all these programs
bitching and moaning about how the place is not fixed up yet. I am
sure some of them are doing so. Why aren't the rest of the former
population doing the same. Why aren't they moving back and
rebuilding. I have friends who have spent their vacation with the rest
of the church in other states coming to NOLA and cleaning up and
rebuilding and yet the residents are just still complaining about how
the government has not fixed it all up.
