Babies, children, women, and men in the New Orleans Convention Center and elsewhere in that city have died and are dying because they haven't had food or water.

Many of the people still in New Orleans have no cars of their own and no money to purchase other means of transportation out of the city, if such transportation could have been found. To blame them for not leaving that city on their own before the hurricane struck is beyond insensitive.

When I donated to the Red Cross I assumed that this relief organization was providing support to the people who are still waiting to be evacuated from New Orleans.

I guess my assumption was wrong.
