No, it may be now, but before then it was by no means the richest but also by no means a 3rd world.
I would like to thank you for posting this, we know that people have gone back to business as usual and probably think that the situation has been wrapped up or is close to being wrapped up and that simply is not true. Honestly I do not know what to say, my family had made provisions for things like this, I likewise made my own provisions as soon as I moved out of their house. It is unfortunate that others did not take simular steps and now the worst has happened. Thank you for all the people who gave to help or came down here or are still here to help out the people of New Orleans but please do not forget about the equally needy, but it seems less popular, people of Texas, Florida and Mississippi. The big easy may have taken the biggest hit but we were in no means the only people effected.
Those of you who continue to give are very special and I hope that life will take care of you and repay you in as many ways as possible. For those of you who had nothing but scorn, contempt and negativity, well I can only hope that you are never in a position simularly through anyone's fault least of all your own and if you do, I hope that you never have to hear simular comments about your situation.
