Are you talking about the poor people in New Orleans or the ones at the top living off of fraud like Tyson?  I think they are equally guilty of their inheritance. 

Both classes must remember that the great equalizer is death and it can not be cheated.  I am always humored at the emotions that sensational sermons on the rapture elicit from people.  We all have a short amount of time.  We must remember the big picture.

My mother said they closed down the schools in Alexandria, La to send the school busses down to help evacuate. 

My family in Louisiana is thought to be okay.  Most were in Baton Rouge.  Some still unaccounted for (an OBGYN) Dr. who probably has his hands full.  Still do not know about the extent of property damage.  Personally, my prayers are out to all of them, the rich, the poor, the quick and the dead.  We should all use this time to observe the way we want to influence the world through the poignant pictures we are seeing.
