Therefore, when people (outside of NOLA and the Gulf Coast) STILL hear about everything that has yet to be done, they are bored and indifferent. Ready for the next Anna Nicole to come along and entertain them. It is so sad. <BR/><BR/>America will deeply regret it if we abandon an entire region.<BR/><BR/>I know peeps on the gulf coast (MS, AL) affected by the crappy insurance mess. One couple is still waiting for a claim from hurricane Ivan so they can finish their repairs.saintseesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674271080347529416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-16029257803400713082007-03-06T06:44:00.000-06:002007-03-06T06:44:00.000-06:00I especially loooove the backpedaling on the name ...I especially loooove the backpedaling on the name of the Village.

Our politicians prove this with their every waking movement. The citizens of New Orleans need to take a giant jump and vote for change by voting for different representatives.<BR/><BR/>The country as a whole believe that they dont need us. I am wondering how they will feel once their cup of coffee cost $20, because the ships must travel up the East coast to make their drop offs.<BR/><BR/>They believe we are stupid for living below sea-level and on the Gulf Coast. It is, also, believed that no one will face a tradegy like we did in Katrina. It is it wont happen to me syndrome. The taxpayers dont want their money spent on us, because they believe we are a lost cause.<BR/><BR/>My thought is once you forget about one area of the country the rest will follow. We all have our crosses to bear and if you are not careful this will happen somewhere else in the country. If the federal government forgets about the Gulf Coast, the East and West will follow. You start picking away at the country and you wont have a country left.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503655664310775269noreply@blogger.com
