My older brother, who's on public aid, doesn't have a goddamn car. I guess that means he never leaves St. Louis?
I understand there being no place for people to go. I do find it a mite hard to believe that 20% of the population of the city of New Orleans does not have any relatives or friends who would put them up for a few days--which, you'll recall, is all the longer most people thought the evacuation would last before the levee broke.
