You only saw what they wanted you to.

I live in that part of the World, I know what happened.
No big secret, that, but you have to possess the balls to seek the truth.

Good Americans from everywhere, rushed to the aide of New Orleans, no doubt, only to be prevented.

You need to get out of that "FOX" reality state, you are locked into.

But, no doubt, there is always a criminal element, in any human population, that would exploit any breakdown of law and order.

That is where a well armed citizenry comes in handy.

And there is that evidence, that some degree of that breakdown, was nurtured in the N.O. case, whether thru design or bureaucratic bumbling, it doesn't matter, results were the same.

And consider, if you found yourself wiped out and stranded in that situation, a TV of any size and generator, might be handy things to have, for your own survival. On some occasions, one still might get a clue as to what was happening around you, with such devices.

I grew up in a time of US history, when a large Hurricane like Katrina would come in, we would get in our cars and drive to it and have a party.

If we, having driven deliberately into danger, died in the process, everyone just thought, what idiots.

So we exercised, some degree of smarts, when choosing
any potential "Hurricane Party" location.

After the storm passed, leaving massive destruction along the Gulf, we rebuilt it inside of 6 months, no big deal, and then we'd send 3 guys to the Moon in a Tin Can to celebrate --- that was America.

And gasoline prices wouldn't go up a penny, much
less quadruple and stay at that level for years.

If that would have happened, Oil Execs and Wall Street Minions, would have had their nuts fed them, for exploiting human misery.

Yeah, if the Governor decided, we'd send in the State Militia to assist the civilian efforts and they'd work hard in support of that, maintaining law and order, without that Jack Boot on the face approach, so prevalent these days.

And if anything, they'd be passing out guns and ammo to the citizens.

You certainly did not have some sniveling punks in US Uniform, clearly stating, when interviewed on camera,
at New Orleans, that they would shoot Americans if ordered to.

And we certainly would not have tolerated foreign military assisting, as we did in New Orleans.

We were a little sensitive about such things back then.

That used to be America also.

And we liked it.

Be sure to catch my response to the MLK article next.

It will for sure piss you off, even as I expound upon, some of the very beliefs you profess.

Try developing a sense of humor for that second part of it.
