I must have missed the letter from the doctor at the Astrodome,
do you still have it Izzy cause I'd like to see it?  I figure a lot of it was anger
taken out on the astrodome and those who were trying to help them.  I've
heard a lot of talk about the culture of poverty that Welfare States encourage
and New Orleans sounds like a prime example.
 
Good manners must be taught and an attitude of gratitude is to be coveted.
They weren't all like that though, there were some christians though they may
have been the minority. I saw the sweetest old lady on TV who had become
separated from and was looking for her autistic son. She said that when they
were waiting for the busses outside the Astrodome that ppl were pushing and
acting up and that this would get him all upset - then she asked ppl to please
get down on their knees and pray for her son.  Someone in Houston had taken
this woman home and said she was too much of a lady to be at the shelter ...
 
God has a ppl....
