I just think its kind of dumb that on 9/11 most of america holds hands and sings "we are the people" but when something like this happens, which could very well be looked at as a worse disaster as a whole, everybody could care less about each other. Granted 9/11 was a different kind of feeling, but as far as disaster goes, i feel this is much more catestrophic.

Get enough poverty stricken people together, take away their homes, food, water and the few belongings they have and people get desperate, it generally isn't something you can blame on the residents, they are fighting for their lives here.

I'm not really directing that at the residents, more so at people outside of the area hit. But, a previous poster hit the nail on the head when he said that we simply dont give a [censored] cause we weren't affected and our life isn't in immediate danger
