Why she is getting a spelling book to learn how to spell as YOU instructed, I suggest that you proofread before submitting. I don’t really think that you understand the severity of the situation. There are so many that lost everything regardless of their social class and most importantly GOD says that we are all equal and that something that you should learn to live by, if you were to die to day or tommorrow what would you leave here with, RIGHT absolutely NOTHING, and that what KATRINA left so many victims with NOTHING. Before you call them lifeless, worthless, government dependents first say a small prayer for them. What if a natural diaster such as a tornado or something was to hit your home or what have you and leave you homeless for the moment what would you do. You may have insurance but what if they only pay so much and leave you in a situation, would you consider yourself POOR. What if you have to take your life savings to rebuild and is force to live from pay check to pay check until you rebuild your security would you consider yourself POOR? Before you criticize make yourself useful and help whether its a prayer or just a few kind word to help a person along the way. At the end of the day we are all GOD’S children whether you are educated & POOR or not. I wasn’t in New Orleans at the time of Katrina but I was affected by her devistation, I experience the agony of being without power for days, the hot dark nights. Fortunately, I was bless to have a generator and was able to cook and watch television as long as we were able to keep fuel in it due to the fact that fuel became a very scarce resource. You know it really saddens me to see that so many people could be so harsh to these VICTIMS regardless of what kind of house they were living in Pre-Katrina it was theirs it may not have been to your standards or my standards but it was theirs and they loss it.
