This is obviously George W. Bush's fault.

cobrien/ What happened is sad but it's not the responsibility of the city to take care of people. Your comment tells me something about you. ALSO You have to have priorities. If you buy something you don't need instead of insurance, then you made a bad choice. Too many people walk around with their hand held out.Bet you're one of them.

Christian religion doesn't kill. It teaches that God provides. And He says if you don't work , you don't eat. These people ought to "take up their mat and walk". Leave the year long aid to the trash in New Orleans.

An incident like this is extremely unfortunate and disruptive to the folks who were directly impacted. But asking the city or state to step in and support these families is not what is needed. We all saw how the debit card solution played out in New Orleans. Ask yourself what you would do. You deal with the tragedy, put a plan together and move forward. The person that I know who lost everything in this fire used the time in the hotel to put a plan together and is moving forward. Let the criticism begin!

I knew we couldn't talk about something without someone using the religious card. Religion has killed more people and stolen more land and valuables than all the wars in history. Mr. T take off some of your necklaces and give!
