Addendum

I also have no patience for fundamentalists who claim New Orleans' destruction is because of its 'sin' nor am I impressed by fellow liberals who refuse to give because the affected states voted for Bush and hence, deserve what they got. People are people, regardless of who they voted for, and my God doesn't go around drowning and destroying people because of some vague 'sin'. Both points of view, I'm sorry, are incredibly ridiculous and are certainly not reflected in the overwhelming out-pouring I've been seeing here at home and hearing about in the media.
