A few comforting words from America's First Lady.
A few days ago the hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the coast around that city. Thousands of people were left to die, alone and with no help. The majority of these lives could have been saved. As Michael Parenti wrote "When an especially powerful hurricane hit that island [Cuba] last year, the Castro government, abetted by neighborhood citizen committees and local Communist party cadres, evacuated 1.3 million people, more than 10 percent of the country's population, with not a single life lost, a heartening feat that went largely unmentioned in the U.S. press."
But in New Orleans the majority of these people were poor and black. Does it make any difference? Of course it does, as Ms. Barbara Bush tells us: "And so many of the people in the arena here were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them. What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."
