FEMA: again!

There are still tens of thousands of mobile homes sinking into the mud in Arkansas, not due to the fact that no one needs them but due to the fact that they can't find any place to park them, supply water and sewer, power and gas to them! Build roads to them, and maintain them.
Those that they did issue are now without doubt making many very sick from formaldehyde fumes in the wood in the trailers.
Some of the FEMA advice to the occupants: well, just move; air the trailers out; we can't give you another one, we don't have any!
Many, if not most of these people were and are now employed. They simply lost everything they had and need something temporary until N.O. is repaired.
There are of course a few who are trying to take advantage of the situation, also.
Occupants, and contractors---about as many of one as the other are guilty!
What has the current Administration done for our country in six years? Even started---besides a war?
Our infrastructure is 75-125 years old (NY city, an example), our roads and bridges are 50 years old and not maintained; our Surgeon Generals have been hamstrung as to looking out after our health; the CDC in Atlanta is a joke; the Veterans Administration is a farce; our debt is unmanageable; the criminals in our corporations have increased incredibly; and our Army has been decimated.
There are scores of other problems, but I see no use to explain them since not even these few will get any attention in the next two years!

Bush's group tried to plant the idea that the people in New Orleans got what they deserved because they, [Bush] spent the money that should have been put on the levees, on the war in Iraq. The levees benifit more people than the ones in NO...reason? it is a major port, remember the Mississippi river? good to go up and down, also an international seaport, remember the oil from the area? The army core of engineers has been there since I can remember trying to controll the Mississippi cause it is important to the whole country for commerce. When I was in college I had friends that went down for the big one that hit the gulf, to a hurricane party, I was asked, didn't attend. All that was found was the slab of building. They were wrong, I was right, did I gloat and say they got what they deserved? Of course not, I missed my friends. You are parroting what the Bush machine would like you to, it is a smoke screen to cover the fact that when our people needed them, again, like 9/11, they did a poor job, they did however spend more time and money on New York than they will ever spend on Miss or La. But, they were slow to act, and had no plan in effect, much like they did during Katrina. Our gov is a shamm. Bush didn't go to Vietnam, was a spoiled brat etc, and is now trying to look macho with the Iraq war. He will never look macho, but he has also been trying to not look like the fool he is. That is what I've been saying for 2 days...why am I bothering.

Submitted by too bad on Thu, 07/19/2007 - 9:57pm.

I am 6th generation Mississippian. Those people don't look for hand outs...cause they never get any! If Katrina had been in New York...that would be another story! Bush would have been all elbows and you know whats getting it cleaned up. If "little Richard" ran against Bush, I would vote for him. The way people in Mississippi and La were treated is unforgiveable. I grew up in a town 130 miles inland from the storm. That town was without electricity for over 3 weeks. My family, owns a building supply company n got a shipment of generators. People were lined up the night before to get one. They weren't going to make any money off these, the line was people we had known for years and were trying to help. The next day when they started to give them out, up rolled the sheriff and said he was told confiscate the generators. We found out later FEMA rented space from Masonite corp for the generators and put them under armed guard. To our knowledge, no one got any use out of them and my family was not paid. Speaking of paid, no one, and I mean no one got $2500.00 check that FEMA said they were going to. But people back home are proud and hoped that people further south got something. I heard a lot of FEMA workers got theirs. I despise FEMA.

Generators, and other items, were confiscated if any “price gouging” was suspected. That’s the way the anti-capitalist liberals want it. The Sheriff must not have believed that those generators were being sold at cost.

If the stuff could be sold at market price the place would have been flooded with merchants supplying the hurricane victims with everything they needed.

my family has made theirs 10 times over and we are related to most everyone down there. There, your name is everything, we are known as compasionate people, if we even TRIED to price gouge, we would be run out by our own. The sheriff stated he was told to confiscate them for the use of the hospitals, but FEMA packed them off to a rented space at Masonite corp and put them under armed guards instead of taking them to hospitals. To our knowlege, they were never used, and we were never paid. That was the way it was in most places down there. FEMA didn't do s%%it, their blunders actualy hindered people trying to help.

As for the people of New Orleans, I feel sorry for them too. I had a cousin who had gone down to see her elderly parents, realizing the storm was going to be bad, she bundled them up and tried to get them out. She almost didn't make it as gas lines were hours long. When they were comming back over Lake Poncetrain bridge, people were so desperate they were walking out over the bridge. Later that night, someone closed the bridge and people were trapped on it for the night, to survive the hurricane! My cousin went back in as soon as she could to help those that were trapped. She said she still has nightmares over what she saw. She is still going down on her free time helping clean up and do what she can. Bush government has tried to paint those peole as lazy and deserving what they got. They did that cause they have NOT, or don't want to, or are so dam stupid, they can't help them. I hope the people in gov responsible for not helping them rott in hell!

I have a relative who teaches school and had many of the little kids who were refugees from the storm. He thought it would make them feel better if they wrote an essay on what happened to them. One little girl wrote about being trapped on the bridge the night of the storm and her Father taking his pocket knife and cutting her hair off so she would look like a boy. Another wrote about being trapped in the ceiling of their home, only to get out the next day to see her dead grandmother near by with an alligator eating her.

Submitted by too bad on Thu, 07/19/2007 - 10:34pm.

as for as people being built on flood plains in Ms. let me explain some of this to you. I have my own horror story with FEMA for the same reasons and can shed some light on this 'flood plain' issue. A lot of what they ...SAY...is in flood plains is NOT! After the hurricane the insurance companies were using FEMA's 1960 maps of flood plains. These were 40 years old and to say the least out of date. This helped the insurance compaines not pay a lot of people.
I live way up here in Fayette county. I recently refinaced my house n found FEMA had it in a flood plain due to a river they showed running right through the middle of my house! Jesus..! Don't ever try to show FEMA their maps are wrong! I am not your average shrinking violet, so I took them on. I called the Army core of Engineers and talked to the guy in charge of the whole deal and he gave me the real scoope. My area, same as much of Mississippi HAD NOT BEEN MAPPED SINCE THE 60'S! I asked him how this could be and he sent me everything and I have it in my hot little hands. It seems they did a general map of this are in the 60s..it was updated in the 80s by a "fly over" if you can imagine that! A fly over for creeks and rivers where the trees and vegatation are more dense. Now, what he said next is FEMA took those old maps and digatized them and put them on their flood maps and use them as the holy graile! Are you getting the picture? Now it is up to the public to prove to FEMA you are not in a flood plain and there is no creek running through the middle of your house. I have sent them notorized copies of the subdivision platt showing no creek and where all the drainage ditches are. I have had new surveys made and sent to them, took pictures of my property from one in to the other and sent them and guess what? According to them I still have a creek in the middle of my house n have to pay $3100.00 a year flood insurance! I have offered to go downtown Atlanta n pick up the FEMA girl at here office and drive her to my property n show her..THERE IS NO CREEK...and she won't do it. You know why? She said it would set a presidence and she can't come out. I googled their web site for jobs, and they are paid staggering amounts of money to sit in their office on their a$$ and make these decisions. This is they same kind of thing that went on in Mississippi with the maps, the difference is most normal people realize FEMA is nuts and just give up. This is what our taxes pay for.

Are you sure you didn't build your house in the middle of a creek? Puzzled

Seriously, my great-aunt told me that her house flooded when there was A LOT of rain here because of a hurricane. She had no idea that it was in any danger. A lot of places flooded that never had before. So, maybe you're in a low elevation region that's susceptible to flooding under the right conditions. Maybe there once was a creek that has been diverted?

Or maybe FEMA's just crazy and/or too lazy to work on the problem.

And people want to turn over their health care to these bureaucrats. Puzzled


Submitted by too bad on Thu, 07/19/2007 - 11:27pm.

no, it isn't in a low area, it is on a hill. A couple of years ago we had flooding around here, I didn't. I asked the FEMA people if they consulted the insurance companies as to were the claims are filed. That would seem a more recent indicator than 40 year old maps. The answer, no. These people are in the dark ages because they allocate all their money to their own saleries and not updating their maps. The Katrina thing showed them for what they are, and they have tried to smear the victims as deserving what they got! Fat hogs living off the taxpayers. Look at how 'prepared' they were...look at 'Brownie', they killed those people down there. Just google their web site and see how much they are paid ...to do nothing...that is the problem...they have been paid all these years to do nothing...and then when they are needed...they don't know what to do...Case in point...look on their web site at all the 'map ammendments' for Fayette county...their is less than 10 in the past as many years, meaning they sit on their a%% all day and do ..N..O..T..H..I..N..G...and get paid for it.

With 100’s of BILLIONS allocated to re-build a city where nearly a third of the population didn’t work, who are you trying to blame?

In New Orleans, Money Is Ready but a Plan Isn't

"No one really knows exactly how the $10.4 billion in federal housing aid will be spent, and guidance for residents in vulnerable areas has been minimal."

"In occasional public appearances, the mayor has voiced characteristic optimism. "Today is another great day in the city of New Orleans," he said Wednesday after the A.F.L.-C.I.O. announced a $700 million housing and economic development grant. He called the grant "an incredible tipping point," but offered no specifics about which neighborhoods he was committed to rebuilding."

"The mayor's flurry of appearances before the election has been sharply curtailed. Streets remain abandoned, sometimes for miles, and blocks are carpeted with trash."

"We do need to have a clear vision from the mayor," said Oliver Thomas, the president of the New Orleans City Council. "Tell us what you're for, or not for. We don't know exactly what neighborhoods he's committed to, kind of committed to, and not committed to."

Lack of reports costly (Louisiana State Law in the way)

61 agencies cannot receive state funds without audits

“Sixty-one government and not-for-profit agencies cannot receive the state money allocated to them by the Louisiana Legislature because they failed to file the necessary financial reports with the legislative auditor as required by a newly approved law.

“Theriot said he was prepared to recommend the Legislative Audit Advisory Council extend the deadlines for all but 31 of the agencies. But when state Sens. Willie Mount, D-Lake Charles, and Diana Bajoie, D-New Orleans, left the meeting early, the council did not have enough members to hold a vote, meaning that all 61 agencies are held to be out of compliance and therefore afoul of the new law, said state Sen. Tom Schedler, who chairs the committee that oversees Theriot’s agency.”

As a tax payer I’m just dying to send them more money

Scandal hurts Vitter and state

“Louisiana seems to generate far more than its share of scandal. Gov. Earl Long, for example, had a long-running affair with stripper Blaze Starr. And who can forget Gov. Edwin Edwards, who now sits in jail as a result of corruption charges?”
“For the national media, Louisiana has been the gift that keeps on giving. First U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., was found by the FBI with $90,000 in alleged bribe money in his freezer (Jefferson said he did nothing wrong). Now U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has acknowledged that his name appeared on phone records for a woman dubbed the “D.C. Madam.”

You don't understand one thing about New Orleans and their people!
Those old homes in the flood plain were not in a flood plain when built, N.O. is sinking.
The people who lived in them, lived there because the rent was practically nothing due to very low taxes on worthless homes and no maintenance furnished by the slumlord owners.
The average wage was maybe $10,000 per year. There are a few minor exceptions, of course. Several did own them but they had no value> If insured they would have gotten zilch as remuneration from the insurance company!
You don't have to like those kind of people from New Orleans, South Atlanta, Watts, Phillie, Wabash in Chicago, and many others, but you can refrain from bragging about how you can pay for your insurance, and don't want anything to do with them or their problems.

"Those old homes in the flood plain were not in a flood plain when built, N.O. is sinking."

$, put the pipe down!

New Orleans is surrounded by water—Lake Pontchartrain, the Mississippi River, and the nearby Gulf of Mexico. Resting an average of six feet (two meters) below sea level, the city's safety has long depended on one of the world's most extensive levee systems.”

“The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been building levees along the Mississippi River since the late 1800s. The artificial, re-enforced soil embankments are designed to curb periodic and destructive floods.”

"If insured they would have gotten zilch as remuneration from the insurance company!"

Sooo it's better if they take NO responsibility for anything and now demand that the Fed. Govt. pay, with my taxes, to have a NEW house built for them, for FREE?

”… you can refrain from bragging about how you can pay for your insurance, and don't want anything to do with them or their problems.”

Like I said $, “AFTER THE FIRST 100 BILLION DOLLARS”, I stopped caring.

When are you and people like you going to realize that New Orleans was a cesspool inhabited by a majority of people that had been living off the hard work of others to pay their way in life.

Aside from a few restaurants and some great music New Orleans was a DUMP.

What did the “good” people from New Orleans do when they relocated, they put their kids first by getting them enrolled in schools in whatever city they landed. Then they went looking for work and started over.

It’s the rest of the people that are crying for FREE money so that they can maintain their old lifestyle of doing nothing and living off of welfare.

$, I just can’t understand why those 3,500 people went to work that day knowing full well, at least 5 days in advance, that two hijacked airliners were going to crash into them.

Everybody in the world knows that tall buildings are targets for hijacked airplanes being flown by madmen.

God, what were those people thinking when they orphaned their kids that day?

Oh, that’s right, they didn’t have 5 days advance notice that those airplanes were going to crash into the buildings.

And what were they thinking when they got up at 4:00 AM everyday to go to work.

Those fools should have known better than to have real jobs and pay real taxes and mortgages.

They should have just stayed at home like everyone else waiting for their Govt. cheque to come and the liquor store to open.

So, if one makes mostly over two hundred thousand dollars a year as many in the tower did, it is ok to give the family a million bucks, but if they are poor, uneducated, and from N.O., no, they have to go through millions of yards of red tape and still nothing happens except $2000 on a credit card!

Twin towers have been hit more than once by terrorist...and they are known for keeping on till they get it right. I don't recall New Orleans flooding before. The lay of the bottem of the Gulf and the power of the warm water of the Mississippi has always slowed or deterred the hurricans. The Ms gulf coast has been hit only once before about 30 years ago, reason again, lay of the bottem of the Gulf along there. There where antibellium houses all along there right next to the beach that had been there for hundreds of years.
The arabs and the Jewish people have been at it for thousands of years. Everyone knows there is a big concentration of them in NY which makes it an A* target for the terrorist.

”I don't recall New Orleans flooding before.”

I'll help you a little with this.

New Orleans, Louisiana's history with tropical systems

Caernarvon, 1927

In the Great Flood of 1927, the Mississippi River burst through manmade levees, killing 246 people and displacing 700,000.

In an effort to divert floodwaters, the levee at Caernarvon, La., was demolished. New Orleans was spared the flood, but much of the marsh below the city was destroyed.

Hurricane Betsy, April 1965

Thirty-eight years later, New Orleans was not so lucky. Hurricane Betsy, a Category
Three storm, resulted in 76 deaths.

Hurricane Camille

A Category Five storm, Camille was one of the strongest hurricanes in U.S. history

Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2005

By August 31, 2005, eighty percent of New Orleans was flooded, with some parts under 15 feet of water. Most of the city's levees built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers were breached, including the 17th Street Canal levee, the Industrial Canal levee, and the London Avenue Canal floodwall.

I was talking to a missionary who had gone to New Orleans right after the hurricane to help set up and run some food banks. He said the most amazing thing about it was that “not a single person that they were serving food to everyday would stand up to stir a pot”. They just sat on their lazy butts and waited for someone to serve them just as they’ve been doing their whole lives.

I don't think you believed anything I said. "not a single person that they were serving would stand up to stir a pot"... what the hell did your 'missionary positioned' friend go down there for if he was too lazy to help the people that had just been through something like that? He sounds like he didn't go with any compasion. Maybe he needs to leave the clergy all together, I hear Vick has some openings for dog handlers. Sounds like his calling.
Those people had just spent days in a hurricane, used the bathroom on themselves as there was no where in the stadium to do so...and you want them to stand there and hand out food? If that missionary positioned friend is who you follow for moral guidance, no wonder you are so twisted! My cousin who went back in was white, she had her relatives out. They have property in the garden district, I wouldn't call that a slum, hardley. She had the compasion to care about the others, no one paid her and she wasn't looking to get rich off what happend there. She just cared about a lot of people our government forgot about.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), asked Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number, what does it mean?

a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.

b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets $1,329,787.

c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.

Can you now see the light?

I know nothing of that, I'm from Mississippi, and we take care of our own, as the government didn't. Trent Lott,Ms senator, that I went to college with, was a big Bush supporter. He saw 1st hand just how much Bush didn't do for everyone. He made a statement on national tv saying, 'the FEMA exs pictures should be hanging on the walls of the post offices, next to the pedifiles'. Sonny Montgomery, a relative, who wrote the Montgomery GI bill and supported Bush, also saw what Bush thought of us. Mississippi has come back better than New Orleans cause we have always known the gov wouldn't do squatt for us, but that doesn't keep me from having compasion for those people in NO that asked for it. As for as gays, NO has always been known for that like San Francisco. If SF had and earthquake today, I wouldn't say all the people there deserved to die because they never moved, nor would I assume they were all gay. If you want to get down to people living in a bad place and going back for more, New York city would top my list. I would say anyone living there after the terrorist went for it a few years before, were asking for it. They are known for going back and striking the same targets till the get their desired results. Bush fell all over himself for New York. Personaly, I worked there for a short time and wouldn't give 2 cents for it. In fact, if I have to make a flight conx, I try to avoid it, as I don't want to spend ..ANY.. time there. I personaly think them rude, helpless, grippers who love to find fault with everyone else.

Compared to what the people of Biloxi have done Nagin should be embarrassed. I didn't see any chocolate but I saw a of lot of pink. What they did have was a gay bar on every corner open and doing brisk business. They also had thousands of new apartments and a zillion old ones that were vacant. They also had entire neighborhoods where some of the houses were completely redone and looked new right next door to dozens of vacant and vandalized houses. I saw tons of people just hanging out in parking lots of apartments with nice cars parked everywhere. What I didn't see was anyone cleaning, mowing, painting, moving, roofing, or working at all.

You have seen me opine in depth regarding economics with JeffC. I am a HUGE believer in the free market. All to say this:

I took Ms. Mixer on a working vacation to 'Biloxi' Eye-wink because I was thinking about buying about 20-30 houses in New Orleans. Middle class stuff. Something for the 'families' that wanted to come back and set up something like a lease purchase, etc..

I spent three days there and left without spending a penny ... not a dime I say. I WANTED to find a reason to buy something - anything - a condo, a business, a shop, commercial, rental, single family - NOPE, NADA, No way Jose (by the way, I didn't see him either if you can believe that).

What I came away with is the thought that I wouldn't invest a penny in that dump. I was both disappointed and disgusted. The heart of downtown (Old N.O.) was teetering on a comeback but not enough for me to invest. If someone else wants to get in there and buy up the place - let them have it. As for me, I'll stick with my gut instincts and that place has 'acid-reflux' written all over it.

Some people who have 'invested' by building or rehabbing homes in New Orleans are getting tax breaks. Some attorneys warned displaced persons about those 'users' who would buy 'middle class' homes and 'lease' them to the displaced. You're the kind of 'investor' that many of the 'middle class' displaced are avoiding. To make money in that manner from someone else's misery is despicable. To build to provide someone with a home is what the truly wealthy like Bono, Ophra, and others have done. You're not in that class Mixer.

The ninth ward was an area where before integration, blacks had to live. There were Black professionals who lost homes in the ninth ward. Many of them were fortunate to have transportation out of there before the flooding. It is true that most of the middle class 'blacks' left New Orleans. I guess only those from New Orleans understand that 'chocolate city' did not mean 'blacks' only. New Orleans is proud of its Creole background - which is a mixture of black, Indian, and European . . . hence 'chocolate' rather than black or white.

I hope, as usual, you will state that I have misunderstood you. Bragging about or being proud of ones intention to make money off of the former residents of New Orleans is hard to take.

How many of us on this site are as wealthy as Opra or Bono for that matter? What is the difference between renting property here or renting in N.O. Does letting the property sit and decay further make more sense to you or having someone fix it up and make a modest profit. I'm sorry, I don't see the problem here but if they, and you, want to wait around for Bono or Opra to get around to them, well good luck.

Do you ever comment on anything without attempting to make it racial?

You have problems. People like you are precisely why people like me are not investing in a 'chocolate' alluvial fan like New Orleans.

First, I am also French. I asked you before to guess what 'race I am' - since you obsess on race - and you declined.

Secondly, a big hint would have been the blog I gave regarding my uncle who lived in the French Quarter. Another would have been the many times I spoke French here and the fact that I am multi-lingual.

Third, my investing is none of your business.

I do not throw good money at bad investments. That's for people like you. Nor do I 'give away' property. Not even to my family and children. I help and facilitate, finance and educate, but I do not enable or give away. The people that have come back to New Orleans can do that if they choose to get off the hood of their car long enough. Obviously, people like you would prefer that my tax dollars repair and rebuild the dung hole .. and it is....at the blistering rate and with the incredible efficiency that the Federal Government does everything else.

I suppose you bought your first home and David too right? No one in your family ever lived in rental property or a lease to own? You never rented or leased, right? All landlords are crooks says the bigot. Wow. Providing housing is a 'bad thing' to you I suppose.

I guess you think it's the responsibility of the Federal Government to provide housing for people. 'We' are supposed to feed them, house them, educate them, provide health insurance for them, relocate them, raise their kids for them and provide transportation, breakfast, lunch and dinner and pay for the birth and funeral of them and their kids as well, right 'mom'?

We guess what ... I don't.

As I said, I walked away without investing because I don't believe in helping people who do NOT help themselves. What I saw was the dregs of humanity and I was not impressed.

I call that 'enabling' Davids mom, and people like you have promoted and facilitated that 'give away, entitlement mentality' for the last 60 years...so, how's that working out for you?

Finally, you madam have racist tendencies to say the least. Hutch called you on it and I agree. You have issues. For that reason, you can join "beaver" on my 'NEVER' talk to them list because they have racial issues.

Who cares what color your skin is – that does not always identify race in New Orleans. Your words identify the color of your heart. . black.

Secondly, a big hint would have been the blog I gave regarding my uncle who lived in the French Quarter. Another would have been the many times I spoke French here and the fact that I am multi-lingual.

Which proves what race you are? In New Orleans? You know that I identify myself as African American – but my uncle also lives in the French quarter – family has been there for years. Are you also African American?

Third, my investing is none of your business.

And it is obvious that you did not graduate from the Wharton School of Business. Landlords in New Orleans who are helping Katrina victims are getting tax breaks – and someone who had the money to invest in rehabbing or building 20 to 30 homes would be in pretty good shape financially –as well as providing shelter for some of the victims.

There is no reason to ‘give away anything’. Why don’t you consult a financial advisor? Your family could benefit.

Mixer – if you pay your federal taxes – yes you do. We’re talking about Katrina victims here – and they were not all on welfare. Most of those who were left had no way to get out. Some of the middle class families who were lost (died) in the flood – just didn’t believe it would get that bad. They were still finding bodies at the beginning of this year in some of the middle class homes that were lost.

As I said, I walked away without investing because I don't believe in helping people who do NOT help themselves. What I saw was the dregs of humanity and I was not impressed.

Hee hee – I’m a fiscal conservative – and never supported ‘give away’ programs.

Finally, you madam have racist tendencies to say the least. Hutch called you on it and I agree. You have issues.

I only speak out on my ‘issues’ when I run across those who try to hide their bigoted thinking by stating that their moral stand prevents them from assisting the dregs of the earth.

You don’t have to speak to me ever again – but I will call you and your ignorant bigoted words out whenever I come across them on this or any other blog.

With a response that weak, twisted and off topic - I don't even need to respond. But I just can't resist one more slap in your racist face:

Your response: Only with apparent ignorant bigots who are trying to impress others on a blog.

So when you can't respond with facts you play the 'race card'? Nice beaver, err, Davids (sic) mom.

Your say: "Who cares what color your skin is – that does not always identify race in New Orleans. Your words identify the color of your heart. . black.

As a person who identifies themselves as a hyphenated American (African -American) I would suggest you read Michelle Malkin on 'Assimilation. So are all Africans black?

Your say: "Which proves what race you are? In New Orleans? You know that I identify myself as African American – but my uncle also lives in the French quarter – family has been there for years. Are you also African American?"

What it proves is I don't need a lesson on the 9th ward from you and the shotgun shacks and slow moving dregs that litter it. If you could intelligently infer (obviously you cannot) you might realize I am Cajun.

You say that: "And it is obvious that you did not graduate from the Wharton School of Business. Landlords in New Orleans who are helping Katrina victims are getting tax breaks – and someone who had the money to invest in rehabbing or building 20 to 30 homes would be in pretty good shape financially –as well as providing shelter for some of the victims. Most American people are very kind as well as astute in business.

No, I did not graduate from 'Wharton' nor did I attend Griffin Tech; however, I do get tax breaks on my investments..... wow.... in fact, everyone in America that invests in real estate gets tax breaks, deducts mortgage interest and depreciates property .....wow....what a news flash! I may well have been YOUR landlord Davids (sic) chip at one time. I currently own homes in PTC, although I do not reside there myself.

You say:"There is no reason to ‘give away anything’. Why don’t you consult a financial advisor?(sic) Your family could benefit.

Thank you so much for your deep and abiding love and concern for my family. Please`rest easy knowing the Mixer family is on solid financial footing and retirement is always an option here.

You say:"You have seen one group of people – and assume that all of the Katrina victims are like them. There are people who take advantage of any situation – but a good businessman would invest in such a way that he would benefit himself as well as others in this situation.

Actually, I have seen more than one group of people. I watch the TV show 'Cops'.

As far as investing, you stated that a lawyer told you to 'watch out for people building homes for the middle class'. Wow. Great advice for someone with no credit trying to work their way out of public assistance. Spoken like a true Louisiana Democrat.

Sorry Ms. Trump, but there are too many section 8 and new apartments, and too many empty homes, and too few well organized neighborhood rebuilding projects going on for me to invest anything more than my tax money. Perhaps you, Oprah, and Bono can start a neighborhood and I will buy the cul-de-sac(s).

Okay - this one is a classic: Note my three questions:

I suppose you bought your first home and David too right? No one in your family ever lived in rental property or a lease to own? You never rented or leased, right? All landlords are crooks says the bigot. Wow. Providing housing is a 'bad thing' to you I suppose.

And here is your response: "There you go again, basing your opinion on facts not in evidence.

Gee, I thought perhaps the question marks were a hint that it was a QUESTION.

My Next Comment was: I guess you think it's the responsibility of the Federal Government to provide housing for people. 'We' are supposed to feed them, house them, educate them, provide health insurance for them, relocate them, raise their kids for them and provide transportation, breakfast, lunch and dinner and pay for the birth and funeral of them and their kids as well, right 'mom'?

We’re talking about Katrina victims here – and they were not all on welfare. Most of those who were left had no way to get out. Some of the middle class families who were lost (died) in the flood – just didn’t believe it would get that bad. They were still finding bodies at the beginning of this year in some of the middle class homes that were lost.

Okay, here we go: The "Dead ones" don't need a house. The ones who didn't "believe it would get that bad" are the same ones who are listening to the Lawyer who said 'trust the government but not a private investor'. Everyone had a way out, until they waited too late - Some call that 'Natural Selection' - they were told over and over again to leave. It was a MANDATORY Evacuation and some used it as an opportunity for a free big screen. They were still finding bodies so I should invest in property for a tax write off? Your lack of logic is frightening.

I said: As I said, I walked away without investing because I don't believe in helping people who do NOT help themselves. What I saw was the dregs of humanity and I was not impressed.

To which you reply: "I thought you wanted to help those who left but wanted to come back to New Orleans to rent from you. Hmmmmm – I guess I misunderstood again.

There is no shortage of vacant housing or government money and me investing there would be bad for, well, me.

I say: I call that 'enabling' Davids mom, and people like you have promoted and facilitated that 'give away, entitlement mentality' for the last 60 years...so, how's that working out for you?

To which you say: "Hee hee – I’m a fiscal conservative – and never supported ‘give away’ programs.

To which I say: Are you joking me? Encouraging me to make bad investments is 'fiscally conservative'? Encouraging me to use a 'tax deduction' that I don't need and that won't benefit society is 'fiscally conservative'? Funny.

And then I call you on your race baiting by saying: Finally, you madam have racist tendencies to say the least. Hutch called you on it and I agree. You have issues.

To which you revealingly reply: "I only speak out on my ‘issues’ when I run across those who try to hide their bigoted thinking by stating that their moral stand prevents them from assisting the dregs of the earth.

Oh, but I thought you said you were under the impression "I WANTED to help...". So, tell us about YOUR issues....can we share in the race baiting or do you have to be a hyphenated American who refuses to assimilate by even their personal identity. What part of Africa are you from? Is David also African-American? What part of Africa was he born in?

To which I again say: For that reason, you can join "beaver" on my 'NEVER' talk to them list because they have racial issues.

Keep your word - and don't respond to my posts anymore. It is a waste of your time and mine. I will however keep my eye on you to correct your racist judgments made in the name of 'conservatism'. Just to remind you, I was made an African-American by the laws of this land. When I travel abroad (and yes I've been to Africa) I am identified as an American. I am proud of both, believe me. (My family roots are in Ethiopia, through my mothers’ line) I am sure you are proud of your Cajun background - which includes a lot of ethnic intermarriage. We so enjoy Zydeco music and dancing! Today, the French Cajuns and those Cajuns with African blood enjoy this music and the culture it represents - in harmony. There is no better place to observe real integration than at a Zydeco music concert and party!!

Actually, I have seen more than one group of people. I watch the TV show 'Cops'.

Oh please!! When you can't cut and paste to prove your point - you turn to a TV program?
