Not sure if this was aimed at me or not, but I will defend my statement anyway. I am in B.R. I have watched our hotel rooms destroyed (lady says she writes everything on the wall because "She ain't got no paper"). I have seen the gangs develop in schools that didn't have problems before. I have seen help wanted signs on every block, with store owners saying N.O. people are definitely not applying. I think the hurricane situation in N.O. was horrific. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. BUT, I really wish there weren't so many people just looking for handouts almost 7 months later. I feel terrible for those who are actually making an effort to get their lives back together.
