I've seen some of it and I do not like what I was seeing.
We do need to try and remember that those people have been through hell and it isn't surprising that they could reach point of blow up......both sides (and once any one of the sticks of dynamite in the case goes, the rest do too).

i'd say the temp of the country in general is at about 97-98 C...
i'm not saying those people should or shouldn't be protesting...
i watched Mitch McConnell get on PBTV yesterday and talk about how the congressional approval rating is lower than the presidents and that shows how good a job the GOP is doing,
i just had to laugh..
the Congress approval rating is low because they won't SUMMARILY end the war (which i do not really agree with) and they won't go ahead and put Bush out of office and because the 30% that support Bush no matter what just hate them for being dems.. that adds up to about the right number of people that are happy with the situation right now.. very few
in other words? the country is split up so bad that if we didn't have TV's and the interent and mortgages to pay to keep us occupied? the streets would already be full of pepper spray and water cannons.
if the mortgage issues keep getting worse as the data seems to indicate they have to? there will be one less reason for people to stay out of the streets... the next round of failures is not sub-prime, it's much higher up the food chain, it's re-fi's that people with 125K$ and up homes took out when they saw their houses go to 225$, and they ARE the backbone of this nation.
if this stuff doesn't get fixed soon? they will be out on the street, and i won't be "out there". i'll be patrolling my perimeter

Still, I don't see anything that could be a solution to the problems in New Orleans.
If you crack an egg and have enough sense to use it right away, it will still make scrambled eggs. If instead, you wait 'til it seeps out the crack and dries on the floor before trying to save it, all you have is a dirty dried stinky mess on the floor that has to be scraped up and thrown out.
I don't think New Orleans can be brought back, physically, like it was. They needed to cook that egg a century back. I have to be skeptical about bringing it back other than physically. That egg seeped out and dried while dubya and crew was patting "Brownie" on the back.
(I think the term "Brownie" was a reference to how he got that job and the residue that the effort left on his nose [and that is, as it appears to be, a reference to the responsible way the present Administration has taken on responsibility.])
