Real Superdome facts

I don't mean to sound like a know it all... but I live in CA.

And, for as long as I can remember... I've been told to have an earthquake kit ready. In 1st-6th grade, we had an awareness day once a year focusing on how to prepare and survive "the big one".

A ton of family I know keep a 55 gallon drum in their garage filled with emergency supplies and such.

News channels are constantly running specials and stories about how to prepare.

I would imagine they do the same thing in Hurrican areas? Am I way of base here?

You do know that the people most affected by this don't have garages, right?

This disaster has brought to light the extreme poverty in which some Americans live - and which most Americans are content to ignore.

Give it up already. How many people in NYC have garages?

Why does poverty always trump preparedness and/or intelligence.

I hate that arguement... oh.... they are poor so they obviously couldn't put aside one week of basic necessities? WTF.

I've lived on noodles and mac & cheese at times when I was broke... doesn't mean I was stupid and helpless at the time.
