No matter how many people were displaced (Hundreds of thousands v. four thousand total is more than a bit suspect IMO) I think the character of the people makes a big difference. The differences don't say much good about the media much less the people of NO.

Here we go again.
First, show me one, just one incident on a scale comparable to Katrina.
Second, yes N.O. & many other metropolitan areas are still suffering the results of LBJ's great society. Katrina pointed this out to the nation. City dwellers already knew it.
Third, if you think it would have been different in Chicago or St. Louis or Philly DC or Baltimore or LA or SF or any other city with ghetto dwellers, you're a fool.
Yes the ghetto's of N.O. house(d) some serious trash. Is it a whole lot different than other ghettos? Go visit one & see for yourself!
