Not a nice idea, and not one that anyone will ever admit, but true. Everyone knew doggoned well that New Orleans was full of poor, black people who could not possibly evacuate on their own. (I was hoping to stay out of this, but it appears to be impossible). Anyone not from this area (which is where I live, although far enough to the east not to have been affected) has absolutely no earthly idea of how much distance there is between the really poor class and those of us who are better off. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
